Disinfection launched in Thessaloniki port and airport
Authorities have initiated disinfection operations at the Port of Thessaloniki, including washing trucks with contaminated water from ships arriving via Greece's Aegean Sea route (Dimokratia.gr). These measures are part of a broader response to prevent infectious disease spread following reports that 250 sheep and goats died in northern Macedonia. While similar protocols were also activated at the airport on March 19, local animal rights groups have organized demonstrations against these actions near Mytilene city center (Rosa.gr; Naftemporiki).
