Paralimni-Deryneia: Construction of Disinfection Tanks for Foot-and-Mouth Disease

The Municipality of Paralimni - Deryneia is building wheel disinfection tanks (wheel washes) in the livestock areas of the Municipal Districts of Frenaros, Deryneia and Acheiritis to protect against foot-and-mouth disease. The Municipality has closed access roads to the Frenaros Livestock Area, allowing access only to the points of the disinfection tanks. Mayor Giorgos Nikolettos emphasized the Municipality's support for livestock farmers and the extension of protective measures beyond the minimum requirements set by the state. He expressed the view that the measures taken at the central level are insufficient and stressed the need for more coordinated and timely support from the state.
