Cyprus’s Veterinary Services shave said that animal culling operations are continuing, with priority given to cattle units showing strong clinical symptoms.
The agency said the process is being carried out strictly in line with European Union protocols and guidelines.
Responding to reports of farmer mobilization in Aradippou, officials clarified that the site involved is a livestock trader’s facility, not a cattle farm. It is the only confirmed case in the area, they said.
Any obstruction or delay in implementing the measures significantly increases the risk of further spread of the disease and endangers nearby livestock units, the department added.
