The Spokesman of the Thera Service, Petros Anagiotos, spoke at noon and something about the bird flu tests.
Initially, he stated that "now is the time of winter migration. Currently, millions of birds pass through Cyprus and park in Cyprus. "Patrols are carried out daily in wetlands and in places with a large number of migratory birds."
He continued by emphasizing that the Service is on alert in case we have any information or locate a wild bird, to receive it, to give it to the Veterinary Services to make the necessary examinations. Through these samples we can monitor whether the specific flu has been detected in Cyprus.
At present there is no such indication but there are protocols of cooperation with the Veterinary Services, which are applied. He explained that these measures are satisfactory because they are monitored with the possibility of quick and timely detection.
