With time counting down to Tuesday's Cabinet[/B], when decisions on the scientists' recommendations are expected to be made, citizens are waiting to see whether the much-needed relaxations will come, if the epidemiological picture allows it.

The Minister of Health is being released from quarantine and tomorrow morning he will discuss with the members of the Scientific Advisory Committee, and shortly afterwards he will present the recommendations they will arrive at before the Council of Ministers. Already, the recommendations of committee members have begun to come before Michael Hadjipandela, who signaled via the Cyprus Times on Saturday that the relaxations will come gradually. The Ministry of Health does not want under any circumstances to relax everything and in the end we will have fears of a backlash," he clarified.
