The recent rise in cases has sounded a bell, forcing Health Minister Michael Hadjipandela to turn to the Scientific Advisory Committee, again asking for recommendations.
From the outset, attention was focused on the issue of mask use in some enclosed spaces.
As the Cyprus Times informs us until 6 pm -as had been requested - the positions of the scientists reached the Minister of Health.
Safe information says that despite the fact that some experts were suggesting reintroducing masks in bakeries, supermarkets and malls, however at this stage what will go to the Cabinet tomorrow is the reintroduction of mandatory use of masks in pharmacies.
However, as the Cyprus Times is informed, the debate on the mask and the possibility of reintroducing it in more places will be temporarily shelved. A competent source clarified to our website that if the epidemiological picture deteriorates and the issue of the mask is discussed again in the near future, then the universal reintroduction of the mask will be discussed and not in some places.
At the same time, the Ministry is expected to raise again the issue of imposing a cap on self-tests, as there have been obscenity phenomena lately. The caps will also be put on the purchase price of a test, which has not existed until now.
Finally, the Ministry of Health is expected in the coming days to intensify its efforts to raise public awareness for the observance of personal protection measures by planning various enlightenment activities.
