Tests conducted on samples sent to Athens confirmed the presence of sheep pox, prompting immediate measures to prevent further spread of the disease.
According to a statement from the deputy head of the Veterinary Directorate, the slaughterhouses of ungulates in Heraklion will be allowed to operate on January 21 exclusively for animals already transported and held in their facilities as of the previous day.
The ban aims to protect the region's livestock industry, ensuring the containment of the outbreak while minimising risks to animal health. Further updates will follow based on the situation’s progression.
