Belarus has imposed a ban on the import of certain goods from Poland due to an outbreak of bluetongue disease, according to the Department of Veterinary and Food Supervision of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Belarus. The ban includes cattle, bison, and meat products from these animals, with existing import permits no longer valid. The disease has now prompted bans from four countries, including Ukraine, Russia, China, and now Belarus. Despite the outbreak, products derived from these animals are still safe to consume.
