British bases in Cyprus clean two border places. They want to stop a bad sickness. This sickness is called foot-and-mouth disease. It is easy for it to spread.
The sickness can go to farm animals. Cows and pigs can get it. Goats and sheep too. More sickness is in the north.
The sickness started on Monday. British bases are safe. The island is one place. So, they must be careful. Two border places have cleaning machines. This will help stop the sickness.
Leaders try to stop the sickness. They found it on a farm. Sick animals are kept apart. They will give shots to animals. Many animals will get shots. Cleaning farms is important. Moving animals is stopped.
This helps keep people safe. It helps animals too. It helps borders work well. A big sickness can hurt money. It stops milk and meat. Cleaning borders helps stop risks. Cyprus watches carefully.
