A. Upon an emergency declaration by the Governor pursuant to the Animal Disease Outbreak Temporary Emergency Act, the State Veterinarian may establish quarantine zones of control in any area where a specific animal determined to be infected or is likely to be infected with the disease be examined by a veterinarian authorized by the Board or the State Veterinarian. This determination shall be based on an actual veterinary examination or laboratory testing.
B. Quarantine zones of control shall be the smallest size practicable to prevent the spread of the disease and must exist for the shortest duration consistent with effective disease control. A quarantine zone of control shall not extend beyond a radius of three (3) miles from an animal determined to be infected or is likely to be infected with the disease, unless the Board orders that control of a specific disease requires a larger quarantine zone of control based upon epidemiological evidence.
