The Veterinary Services have issued a new decree regarding foot-and-mouth disease, officially known as the Animal Health (Control, Prevention, and Restriction of Foot-and-Mouth Disease) Decree (No. 5) of 2026. This decree replaces the previous decree (No. 4) and has been introduced as part of a gradual easing of restrictions on the movement of animals, reflecting an improved epidemiological situation. Key provisions of the new decree include additional exceptions for the movement of livestock, contingent on obtaining proper authorization from the relevant authority.
The announcement was made on July 3, 2026, with the implementation of the new rules expected to begin shortly. The changes aim to maintain the protection of livestock while adapting to the reduced risk posed by the disease, as indicated by the results from recent tests, which returned negative. The President of the Pancyprian Veterinary Association, Dimitris Epaminondas, indicated that efforts would be made to formalize and release the new decree promptly, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
