Anti coronavirus measures recently announced concerning Nicosia and Limassol have been extended to all districts for the next two weeks, Health Minister Constantinos Ioannou announced on Saturday.
This means no more than 10 people at private gatherings, no spectators at sports events. Restaurants can sit up to 75 people indoors and up to 150 people outdoors.
Cinemas and theatres can only host 50 per cent of their capacity.
He also said that from Sunday until Monday October 26 restaurants and eateries in Limassol must close by 10.30pm.
“It is strictly recommended that circulation is restricted in all streets of the Limassol district after 11.30pm,” Ioannou said.
He explained this is a recommendation, but authorities will be monitoring the situation and if people continue to ignore it, then more measures may be taken.
He also said supermarkets and pharmacies will serve only vulnerable groups between 8am and 9am.
The announcement follows an urgent meeting with the epidemiological team presided by President Nicos Anastasiades after a record 104 positive cases were found on Thursday.
Though the daily numbers of cases had been gradually rising in recent weeks, it was the first time they went into triple figures since the start of the pandemic in March.
On Friday 94 cases were detected.
