Dromolaxia Municipality Extends Disinfection Tanks to 9 Meters for Foot-and-Mouth Disease

The Municipality of Dromolaxia-Meneou is taking measures to address the foot-and-mouth disease in the area. These include extending the disinfection tanks to 9 meters, placing warning signs in livestock areas, and the upcoming vaccination of animals. These actions follow consultation with the Department of Agriculture. The Municipality also provides psychological support to farmers through the Cyprus Oncology Center. Furthermore, it is clarified that spraying is carried out by state services with drugs that meet EU standards. This mobilization comes after the death of a 73-year-old farmer in the area and in the context of increased security measures.
