Deaths, Vaccinations and Sampling Continue

The culling of animals (sheep and goats, and cattle) due to the disease continues, while vaccinations are also progressing. Approximately 20,000 sheep and goats and 1,200 cattle have already been culled. The second dose of vaccine has begun in cattle and sheep and goats, while the first dose has been completed to a large extent. Sampling in pig farms continues, and the pig farms remain closed. The Veterinary Services expect the vaccines for pigs at the end of the month. Controls are being strengthened at 81 checkpoints across Cyprus.
