32. Declaration of infected place

Where the Director suspects or determines that a disease exists in a place and is of the opinion that it could spread or that animals or things entering the place could become affected or contaminated by it, the Director may in writing declare that the place is infected and identify the disease that is believed to exist there, and such a declaration may subsequently be amended by the Director.

When the declaration is delivered to the occupier or owner of the place to which it relates, the place, together with all contiguous lands, buildings and other places occupied or owned by the occupier or owner, constitutes an infected place.
