New Government Measures Against Foot-and-Mouth Disease
June 2, 2026
Starting today, the Government is adopting four new measures to combat foot-and-mouth disease. Stauros Malas announced an increase in fines for the illegal transfer of animals through the occupied areas, aiming to reduce the threat to livestock. The measures include strict biosecurity regulations, completion of vaccinations, and monitoring through sampling checks. The situation calls for attention, as active virus transmission until 2027 is unacceptable. The government urges everyone to adhere to the measures to protect livestock farming.
