As we approach the end of another year, full of challenges and opportunities, we as the Ministry of Health express our gratitude to all of you for your high sense of responsibility and collective efforts to protect society and our loved ones.
This past year has been difficult for all of us as we still face the uncertainty and risks posed by both coronavirus and other threats to public health. But through it all, the state and the Cypriot people have shown determination and resilience, succeeding in defending public health and strengthening the health system.
We know that the pandemic has had a significant impact on our economy and society and that some of you have faced personal challenges as well as losses. We are deeply grateful for your patience and understanding as we have collectively worked hard to address these ever-emerging challenges by implementing as few restrictions as possible.
We would also like to express our heartfelt appreciation for the tireless efforts of health care workers and critical service workers who have put their own health and well-being at risk to care for those affected and preserve the smooth functioning of our society. Your dedication and commitment to serving your fellow human beings is an inspiration to us all.
As we look forward to the holiday season and the start of the New Year, we want to assure you that the Ministry of Health will continue to work tirelessly to protect public health.
We encourage you to continue to follow the instructions of experts to follow personal protection measures and to vaccinate our fellow citizens who fall within the vulnerable groups of the population, or belong to the age group of 60 and above.
On behalf of the Ministry of Health, we wish you and your loved ones a happy and healthy holiday season and a happy and prosperous New Year.
