For the next fortnight, routine Departmental on-farm visits will not be taking place, unless required on a risk basis, according to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM).
A DAFM spokesperson confirmed that essential services, such as disease control or reactor removal will continue.
“This will be kept under review as the situation evolves. Some inspections such as under the Young Farmer Scheme are being conducted by telephone.” the spokesperson concluded.
