Foot-and-Mouth Disease Spreads Beyond Larnaca. Cases in Units in Nicosia

Foot-and-mouth disease has spread beyond Larnaca, with confirmed cases in livestock units in Nicosia, specifically in Dali and possibly in Geri. The spread of the virus beyond the initially defined 10 km surveillance zone is causing concern, as the Veterinary Services were trying to contain the virus in the province of Larnaca. The situation is now considered more complex and requires increased vigilance.
