Paphos People

This is important if you have friends or family coming out who were intending to use the NHS testing! The UK Government have clamped down and the "other " option is no longer available so unless you have symptoms or an essential worker etc you can no longer obtain a test.
Therefore people intending to visit Cyprus who require a test in advance must seek and pay for a private test.

And rightfully so

It was being absolutely abused by holiday makers

Who had no symptoms at all

The forums are full of people who have abused the system to go on holidays

It stated clearly that it was not to be used by people to holiday abroad

they used and abused the system, it was there to protect the uk population, not for holidays abroad

Now gone! Well done uk government for closing the loop hole
