On the initiative of the Regional Governor Thessaly K. Dimitris Kouretaa collaboration is being developed with a well-known pharmaceutical company from Larissa, with the aim of creating a rapid test for plague and other diseases in sheep and goats, which is expected to be delivered to the Region very soon.

According to his report and his Panos Garoufaliathe development of the rapid test is estimated to contribute a lot to Thessaly’s battle for the protection of its livestock.

It is recalled that as of Wednesday morning, a public prosecutor’s investigation has been ordered into how the plague entered Greece, with the judicial authorities focusing on the conditions of importing infected sheep and goats into our country.

Specifically, it will be examined who, when and under what conditions imported infected sheep and goats into the country, which led to an outbreak of plague cases in the region of Thessaly. In the meantime, new cases have been detected in the area of ​​Domenikos and in Heimadi.

“Keep the animals in the units”, recommends the Federation of Livestock Breeders and the Municipality of Tyrnavos, at the same time that SYRIZA is publicly demanding that those responsible be held accountable here and now.
