Rapid antigen tests throughout Cyprus have shown that “the virus is everywhere, in all cities, villages, districts,” said Health Minister Constantinos Ioannou<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Cyprus announced Wednesday it would close hospitality venues and shopping malls and ban church attendance over the Christmas holidays to curb a spike in coronavirus cases.<\/p>\n

Health Minister Constantinos Ioannou announced the tighter restrictions following an emergency cabinet meeting.<\/p>\n

Rapid antigen tests throughout Cyprus had shown that “the virus is everywhere, in all cities, villages, districts”.<\/p>\n

He said bars, restaurants, cafes and other hospitality venues must close, as will shopping malls, while church services will go ahead without attendees and after-school tutorial centres are also banned.<\/p>\n

The new measures will be enforced from December 11 to 31.<\/p>\n

High schools will resort to remote learning from December 14, Ioannou told a press conference.<\/p>\n

“With these measures we are trying to prevent a deterioration of the situation before the epidemiological picture becomes irreversible,” he said.<\/p>\n

Cyprus on November 30 imposed a nationwide eight-hour night-time curfew from 9 pm while hospitality venues were ordered to shut at 7 pm.<\/p>\n

These measures were to expire on December 13 if the Covid-19 situation improved but Cyprus registered a high of 419 daily cases on Tuesday and five deaths, making it the deadliest day on record.<\/p>\n

In the nine days since the government introduced new measures, 2,903 cases were reported, while another 20 hospital patients lost their lives to Covid-19.<\/p>\n

At the end of September Cyprus had only 1,755 cases, but the number of infections has since shot up to over 13,000.<\/p>\n

“In recent days there has been a deterioration in epidemiological indicators, the worst since the pandemic broke out,” said Ioannou.<\/p>\n

The minister agreed there was “fatigue” among the public over the rules and restrictions, which was harming their effectiveness.<\/p>\n

Cyprus had largely kept a lid on the pandemic by introducing an early lockdown in March that was gradually eased<\/a> from early May.<\/p>\n

Health authorities blame the spike on Cypriots flouting hygiene rules, including on mask-wearing and social distancing.<\/p>\n

Face masks are mandatory indoors and outdoors, except at home, while household gatherings are limited to 10 people, kampus terbaik di lampung<\/a> as are weddings<\/a> and funerals.<\/p>\n

The Cyprus Covid-19 case tally is now at 13,286 and 68 deaths.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
