cows, pigs, goats, and sheep are still off-limits at South Woodham Ferrers' Marsh Farm Country Park.
Visitors to the council-owned show-farm are still being kept way from livestock with cloven hooves, in the wake of the Surrey foot and mouth disease outbreak.
Restrictions may be lifted by Monday, official say, provided no other cases of the disease are confirmed in the meantime.
Currently, only staff whose jobs involve look ing after the animals are allowed access.
Government guidelines suggest farms should wait 20 days before reopening, following confirmed reports of an outbreak.
