Professor Hugh Pennington tells British newspapers that only until the incubation period is over, up to 14 days, will the meat and livestock industry be considered free from risk of further foot and mouth disease.<br />n<br />nBritain’s Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, tells The Daily Telegraph, there are no further suspected cases of the disease, but says “we’re not out of the woods yet.” Anyone who keeps animals is urged to be extremely vigilant.</blockquote>
