Livestock expert in the regional secretariat, Dr Elibariki Olomi, said that people were allowed to sell livestock from one place to another, but strictly forbidden to slaughter animals in such places.
Manyara Regional Commissioner Henry Shekifu, however, clarified that people in the region were only allowed to move cattle intended for commercial purposes.
The regional commissioner has also instructed district commissioners in respective areas to ensure a lift of the quarantine does not lead to resurgence of the life threatening disease.
