Tighter controls on big events, more to work remotely (Updated) Rapid tests not older than 24 hours will be mandatory for attending weddings and other such events, while dancing is banned, Health Minister Michalis Hadjipantelas said on Wednesday after an emergency cabinet meeting. There is also a ban on visiting people in hospital. The minister announced the new measures after cabinet approved a series of suggestions by the advisory committee on coronavirus. The additional measures follow record spikes in daily infections for three days in the row. On Wednesday 3,002 cases were recorded, 2,241 on Tuesday and close to 2,000 the previous day. From Thursday, entry to music and dance venues, weddings, christenings and other reception areas will be allowed only to those who present a rapid test not older than 24 hours. People who have had their booster jab are exempt. Hadjipantelas recalled that entry to these venues is in any case allowed only to vaccinated people. Also from Thursday, the maximum number of people at eateries, reception, music and dance venues, will be 300. People must remain seated while dancing is forbidden. For weddings and christenings, this measure will be in effect from January 3. From Thursday, visits to private and public hospitals and closed structures are banned, unless permission is given by the administration for urgent cases only and after the presentation of a PCR test not older than 24 hours. For outpatient visits and patients’ escorts, a rapid test not older than 24 hours must be presented. People who have had the booster jab, are exempt. No change was made last night to the numbers allowed to gather privately in homes. Under the existing mandate this remains at 20. Distance learning and online exams in higher education was also recommended. FULL REPORT HERE :- https://cyprus-mail.com/2021/12/29/coronavirus-tighter-controls-on-big-events-more-to-work-remotely/ |
