The Revenue Commissioners are participating actively, especially through Customs activities, in the national efforts to prevent the disease from coming into this country. In addition, the commissioners are taking all the precautions recommended by the Department of Agriculture, Food and Rural Development. Instructions were immediately issued to all local managers in relation to these recommended precautions. Compliance and audit visits to farms and to premises supplying farm inputs were suspended. All non-essential internal meetings and training courses were also suspended. The Revenue board conveyed to all its managers the Government decision that non-essential events involving the bringing together of people from farming communities or from infected areas should be cancelled. This instruction was followed throughout Revenue.
