Green Points in Larnaca Suspended Due to Foot-and-Mouth Disease

Due to the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in livestock farms in the areas of Livadia and Oroklini in Larnaca, the Larnaca Provincial Self-Governing Authority (PSA) has decided to suspend the operation of all seven Green Points located in the province. This decision was taken as a precautionary measure to prevent further spread of the virus to other areas. The President of the Larnaca PSA, Angelos Chatzicharalambous, stated that the public will be informed soon regarding the reopening of the Green Points, after the new data has been evaluated. Cooperation with the municipalities of the province and the state Veterinary Services will be crucial for the final decision. Mr. Chatzicharalambous requested the understanding of the public for the temporary inconvenience that will be caused.
