The country's good epidemiological picture seems to pave the way for further relaxations and abolition of the safepass in places where it is still required, such as weddings and nightclubs.
On the sidelines of Health Minister Michalis Hadjipandela's visit to the Limassol General Hospital to see first-hand the problems faced by kidney patients, he also touched on issues related to the coronavirus pandemic.
Asked if any other relaxations are being considered and if the timetables given until 15 May are still valid, he explained that "the only relief that remains to be given to people is weddings and nightclubs. If that measure is also suspended then there will only be safepasses in hospitals and closed structures and nursing homes which are sensitive places for us," he said."
At the same time he noted that he has asked experts in writing for their opinion on suspending, or maintaining the safepass. "If it will go proposal will go before Cabinet tomorrow, depending on the experts' responses," Hajipandela said.
Asked about the country's epidemiological picture at the moment, he stressed that the numbers he receives daily are constantly decreasing, both in terms of cases and hospitalizations.
Finally, he announced that due to the good epidemiological picture today a large number of beds will be released from the 5th floor of the Limassol General Hospital, which will give breath to the hospitals.
