'Heartbreaking' alert for cat owners as hundreds of pets die from rare Pancytopenia illness

ITV News has learned that the number of cats who've died from a rare and unexplained illness has continued to rise.

Hundreds of beloved pets have now lost their lives to Pancytopenia and officials have told us they have extended their investigation into possible causes.

Vets warn owners to be vigilant for signs of lethargy, loss of appetite or unusual bleeding.

Anyone who is worried should seek veterinary advice.

Negative self-test results for Covid-19, as of Monday, July 5, will no longer be accepted as a document for adults to board a ferry to travel to the Greek islands from the mainland, the Greek authorities announced on Thursday.

Adults in Greece (residents and foreign visitors) will be allowed to travel from the mainland to the Greek islands by ferry only if they have one of the following:

– a vaccination certificate or a recovery certificate
– a negative PCR test performed less than three days (72 hours)
– a negative rapid antigen test taken 48 hours prior to travel.

It is reminded that all ferry passengers must fill out a health declaration questionnaire before traveling from the mainland to the Greek islands.

The online pre–boarding questionnaire can be found here in both Greek and English and can be submitted online.
