Foot-and-Mouth Disease: Oroklini-Livadia on Alert - Support Services Provided

Due to cases of foot-and-mouth disease in livestock units, the communities of Oroklini and Livadia are on alert. The Livadia Municipality is providing support services, such as water for spraying, lighting and equipment for blocking roads, while the Oroklini Municipality emphasizes the importance of public health protection and compliance with instructions. There are 8 farms with sheep in Oroklini, while in Livadia there are 5, of which 4 have sheep and cows. The proximity of the Livadia farms to the residential area of Oroklini (only 100 meters) intensifies the concern. Protocols are being implemented by the owners, while the Veterinary Services have taken over supervision. There is concern that the virus may have already been transferred to other areas via vehicles that visited the affected farms.
