Suspension of Green Points in Larnaca Due to Foot-and-Mouth Disease

Due to outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease in Livadia and Oroklini, the operation of all seven Green Points in the province of Larnaca has been suspended. The decision was made by the Provincial Self-Government Organization (PSO) of Larnaca, with the aim of preventing further spread of the virus. The President of the PSO of Larnaca stated that instructions were given to the relevant service to suspend the operation of the Green Points until new data regarding the cases is evaluated. The public will be informed soon about their reopening, depending on the evolution of the situation. Collaboration with the Municipalities of the province of Larnaca and the Veterinary Services of the state will take place to assess the situation and issue new instructions for the reopening of the Green Points. A call for understanding from the public was made, due to the inconvenience that may be caused. The suspension of the Green Points aims to protect and ensure the fewest possible movements, so as not to have a greater spread of the virus to other areas. The Green Point in Larnaca does not fall under the PSO, but under the Municipality.
