Electronic and mapped register of municipal closures related to bee diseases

Pursuant to MARD Decree 70/2003 (VI. 27.) on the protection of bee populations and the prevention and control of certain diseases of honey bees, the district office shall order a municipal closure of the area around the infected apiary subject to local closure, within a radius of at least five kilometres, following the detection of bee diseases. The GPS coordinates in WGS'84 format of the infected apiary under local quarantine and the decision to impose local quarantine shall be sent by the district office to the NFCSO, which shall keep a register of the area under quarantine, which shall be available on its website and published in map form on its website. The District Office will manage the eradication of the disease through the official veterinarian and the bee health officer. Local restrictions are lifted in accordance with the specific rules for each disease. The communal quarantine shall be lifted when no premises in the area under quarantine are still under local quarantine because of the disease. The decision to lift the municipal closure shall be sent by the district office to the NFCSO. The disease shall be declared eradicated when there is no longer either a local or a municipal restriction.
