A second Tasman District farm has been confirmed as an infected property (IP).
The farm is connected to known IPs through stock movements.
Tracing work from this farm is now under way.
However, two more previously infected Canterbury farms have had their IP status lifted.
After the infected stock was depopulated, the farms completed their 60-day stand down period during which they were cleaned and disinfected.
The response recovery team is now assisting the farm with returning to normal operations.
