The "test to stay" measure applies to pupils and teachers in primary and secondary education in the public and private sectors, as well as to children aged 3 and over attending nursery, pre-primary and special schools (excluding children of any age attending nursery schools). The "test to stay" measure is targeted at individuals who are close contacts of a confirmed positive case and are required by protocol to self-limit.
Excluded from the application of the "test to stay" measure are individuals who hold a valid certificate of infection or vaccination (close contact management guidelines are followed).
Instructions to children attending kindergarten, pre-primary and special schools:
- Children who are close contacts of a confirmed positive case inside and outside the school premises will be allowed to come to the predetermined points announced by the Ministry of Health for a rapid antigen detection test (Rapid test) on the 3rd and 5th day after the contact. On the other days (1st, 2nd, 4th) parents should self-test their children. The use of this measure is optional.
- From 11 April 2022, this measure is extended to extracurricular activities.
- Pupils will continue to complete the test recording form delivered by the school unit on entry to school, while receiving the test result in text message or hard copy to provide evidence for extracurricular activities. The form will be signed by parents on days when children are self-tested.
- Parents will obtain the self-test pack from the school's Tracking Officer whenever their child is a close positive contact.
- For Special Schools with nursing staff, the test will be administered at the school facility upon arrival. It is understood that children reported as close contacts may not use school buses for transportation.
- Those children who do not make use of this measure should follow the Ministry of Health's guidelines for the management of close contacts of a confirmed positive case. That is, they will self-limit for the 5-day period and conduct Rapid test on days 3 and 5 at locations indicated by the Ministry of Health.
- The test is provided free of charge.
- It is understood that during the weekend, the "test to stay" procedure is not required.
- School units (kindergartens, pre-primary, special schools) will be able to obtain the self-test kits from the school supply departments or from the Cyprus Association of Private Preschool Education
- Pupils who are intra-family contacts of a positive incident are excluded from the measure.
Instructions to students:
- Compliance with the above measure is optional and is intended for students who are close contacts of a confirmed positive incident inside and outside the school setting and under protocol must self-limit, as defined by the health protocol governing school facilities (two metres away from all directions of the positive incident, within the classroom, during recess, during sports and during transportation by private vehicle).
Specifically:
- students who have no history of vaccination, or have received at least one dose of vaccine, or have become ill and the 90-day period has elapsed, have the option of either being confined for 5 days as provided for in the relevant protocol, or presenting themselves at the predetermined sites for the Rapid test daily for the period of 5 consecutive days after contact. It is understood that during the weekend, the "test to stay" procedure is not required.
- Students participating in the "test to stay" are not required to attend the predetermined sampling points referred to them by the Ministry of Health for a Rapid test on the 3rd and 5th day after the date of contact.
- This measure from 11 April 2022, extends to extracurricular activities.
- Students will continue to complete the test record form delivered by the school on entry to school, while receiving the test result in text message or hard copy to provide a receipt for extracurricular activities. Children aged 14 years and over should register the result on the EUDCC portal to obtain a QR code.
- Students should avoid using public transport and travel to school in a private vehicle.
- Students' absence from class during the laboratory testing procedure will be excused.
- It is clarified that if an individual is tested in the afternoon and is found positive, his/her school contacts will be able to make use of the "test to stay" measure.
- Elementary and secondary school students residing in remote or mountainous communities will continue to be served by the sampling sites visiting the schools.
- In all cases, parents/guardians will be responsible for accompanying and supervising children attending the sampling sites located at schools.
- On Tuesday, May 3, 2022, a total of 97 clinical laboratory sites will be open.
- These sites will be open from 7:00am to 8:00am for the convenience of close contacts. (Middle school students are recommended to arrive between the hours of 07:00 - 07:30 to avoid further loss of instructional time).
