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

The Paralimni-Deryneia Municipality is rapidly proceeding with the construction of wheel disinfection tanks (wheel washes) in livestock areas as a preventive measure against the spread of foot-and-mouth disease. The tanks will be built not only in the Frenaros area but also in the livestock zones of the Municipal Districts of Deryneia and Acheriou. Mayor Giorgos Nikolaettos emphasized that the Municipality supports livestock farmers and extends protective measures beyond state guidelines. He believes that the measures taken at the central level are insufficient and calls for more coordinated and timely support from the state, both at the preventive level and in terms of compensation. In addition, access roads to the Frenaros livestock area have been cut off, except for the points where the disinfection tanks are being constructed.
