Humans don't get foot and mouth. Travel is restricted so that people 
don't drag the bug about the country with them and spread the 
outbreak.

I was supposed to be going to Cardiff today to watch the 6 nations 
rugby match between Wales and Ireland at the Millenium Stadium but 
it's been called off for precisely the same reason. So I'm just 
waiting for the Grand Prix to start to console myself.
