Update on the Investigation into the Spread of Foot-and-Mouth Disease
February 27, 2026
The police and veterinary services are investigating the spread of foot-and-mouth disease through testimonies from farmers and veterinarians. The virus is believed to have originated from the occupied territories, as analyses indicate it first appeared in Oroklini. Cases have also been identified in Livadia, Aradippou, and Troulli. There are doubts about the accuracy of results in a livestock unit in Troulli, where the animals are asymptomatic. Investigations are ongoing, and new results from the veterinary services are awaited.
