“At the moment there are 18 outbreaks in Lombardy, 5 in Piedmont and 1 in Emilia Romagna,” he said.
“We must be prudent.
“The situation is complex but to call it dramatic is an exaggeration.
“It is a situation linked to an epidemic wave,” he explained.
“It’s clear that there is a great deal of concern on the part of associations and breeders, especially those who are in the restriction zones and are subject to the measures that I have included in the latest ordinance.”
