Foot-and-Mouth Vaccinations Begin in Geri Livestock Zone

Vaccinations against foot-and-mouth disease have begun in the Geri livestock zone, following the detection of cases on a farm in the area. The Deputy Mayor of Geri, Neofytos Papalazarou, stated that no other cases have been diagnosed beyond the four identified on the farm in question, which houses 200 cattle. Preventive measures are being taken, such as providing water and medicine to farmers, as well as disinfecting vehicles and roads leading to the livestock zone. Access to the area has been limited to one entrance to facilitate control. Livestock farmers in the area have formed a Committee to claim their rights.
