CORONAVIRUS - HEALTH MINISTRY ISSUES NEW APPEAL TO PUBLIC

 Cyprus Mail 9 October 2020 - by George Psyllides



The health ministry urged the public on Friday to strictly apply health and safety rules after people deemed close contacts of positive coronavirus cases had broken the mandatory 14-day quarantine.

In a written statement, the ministry said it had been informed that people deemed close contacts in confirmed coronavirus cases had not observed the provisions of the health protocols, which ban leaving the house or having visitors for 14 days.

Even if they test negative before the quarantine period expired, people who came into close contact with a confirmed case must remain isolated for 14 days, the ministry said.

“Instructions must be followed faithfully.”

Beyond that, anyone who considers themselves a contact of a confirmed case should call 1412 and inform the tracing team even if they are not contacted by the epidemiological unit.

In recent days, it has emerged that confirmed cases had failed to disclose all their contacts, resulting in further infections.
