Panic in the Occupied Territories Over Foot-and-Mouth Disease Outbreaks

The veterinary association in the occupied territories assures that the consumption of locally produced meat and milk is safe, despite suspected cases of foot-and-mouth disease in the village of Lapathos. The association calls on consumers not to panic over false information and to trust official announcements. The authorities of the occupied territories have taken measures such as quarantine, vaccination, disinfection, animal slaughter and restriction of animal movement. The association proposes a complete halt to the movement of cattle and sheep for a month, as well as the inspection and disinfection of vehicles transporting animals.
