Researchers are making good progress in developing vaccines against Covid-19, with a handful in late-stage trials, but their first use cannot be expected until early 2021, a World Health Organisation (WHO) expert said on Wednesday.
“Realistically it is going to be the first part of next year before we start seeing people getting vaccinated,” Mike Ryan, executive director of WHO’s emergencies programme, told a public event on social media.
State doctors and their employer, state health services organisation Okypy announced on Wednesday they had reached an agreement on monetary incentives to be given to public sector specialists.
The agreement concerns €21m in incentives: €1,850 per month to be made available directly to the specialists in addition to their salaries and an extra percentage depending on their productivity.
Both sides welcomed the agreement arguing it would bring peace to labour relations and put a stop to the flight of doctors from state hospitals.
The monetary incentives to state specialists were aimed at help keeping doctors from leaving the public sector and join the private one since fees are higher there.
Traditional businesses will also be able to benefit from the €2.7 billion in financial aid the EU has made available to Cyprus even though the funds are effectively destined to companies promoting green and digital strategies, the Cyprus Chamber of Commerce (Keve) said on Wednesday.
“It’s undeniable that the recovery fund will especially be beneficial to companies who invest in green and digital solutions,” Keve’s Leonidas Paschalides, an expert in EU issues, told the Cyprus Mail on Wednesday.
“However, with the right strategies, many businesses that are traditionally neither green, nor digital, will be able to receive the help they need.”
After a marathon summit session earlier this week EU leaders approved a €750bn coronavirus recovery fund. Cyprus will receive €1.451bn raised from the Multiannual Financial Framework 2021-2027, and the rest – up to €1.3 bn – from the recovery fund.
The European Commission has recommended that all countries that will be benefitting from the post-Covid financial help should focus their investments on the green and digital transition, in particular on clean and efficient production and use of energy, waste and water management, sustainable transport, digitalisation, research and innovation.
This has raised questions whether industries and businesses that cannot promote or implement green or digital business strategies will be effectively cut out from the fund.
“Not necessarily, provided businesses show a certain spirit of adaptation,” Paschalides said.
He also said Keve is absolutely in favour of a gradual transition towards green and particularly digital solutions, a need that was highlighted during the coronavirus pandemic and that saw companies successfully shift towards smart-working.
“However, it is imperative that, after the proposed transition, companies and industries remain business-friendly and that their profits will not suffer from it,” Paschalides said.
He added that the government is still making plans regarding where the recovery fund will go, a plan that needs to be approved by the European Commission before being officially implemented.
“I expect that the plan will be ready and approved by the EU by the end of 2020, it’s unlikely to see it implemented before.”
Other recommendations made to Cyprus by the EU include the pursuing of fiscal policies aimed at achieving prudent medium-term fiscal positions and ensuring debt sustainability, while enhancing investment, and the strengthening of the health system by improving the health workers’ working conditions and the quality of services.
Furthermore, the need to provide adequate income replacement and access to social protection for all and to promote flexible working were also highlighted.
The funds will be dispensed to all EU member states in the form of grants and loans over a period of three years.
As far as Cyprus is concerned, the aid will amount to 70 per cent of the total dispensed in 2021 and 2022, with the remaining 30 per cent to be granted in 2023.
Many young people in rural villages head right for big cities once school is finished, but now there is a counter trend: An increasing number of young entrepreneurs from rural areas are staying home and starting businesses.
Many of them feel that contributing to their community is an important part of what they do.
“I believe that success has nothing to do with the place, that is, whether it is a city or a village, but with the quality of services you offer to people” said 28-year-old chef Andreas Fouskotos, owner of Fouskomagiremata that sells home-cooked food in the Troodos village of Evrychou.
“The secret to my success is the good food, cleanliness and the proper service to my clients,” Fouskotos explained. His take-away restaurant was established in Evrychou village in the beginning of 2020, and his business is growing fast.
“In recent years, Evrychou has seen many businesses started by people of about my age,” the chef noted, as more and more people end up choosing the serenity of the mountains that combine a less stressful lifestyle with limited noise and air pollution instead of heading for the big cities.
Such is the desire to work at home in the village, that young entrepreneurs finance their businesses themselves.
“I love my village. I didn’t want to leave” said photographer Nectarios Kammas from the same picturesque village. “I like how peaceful it is, and I prefer living away from the hustle and bustle of the city” he said.
Thirty-year-old Kammas sold two of his cars to open the NeKam photography studio in 2019. It later evolved into a graphics and printing shop to meet the needs of the nearby residents. Refusing to borrow money, Kammas is slowly expanding his operations with new equipment whenever he can.
For now, NeKam is the only photographics and printing shop in the area, where local residents and artists can print their designs without having to drive to the city.
“I thought it was something needed in the area and I wanted to contribute and increase the services in our village.”
Working in a remote village comports challenges, however. “Suppliers will definitely charge you more if you operate in remote areas,” Kammas explained. “But cheaper rent balances it out.”
Another village entrepreneur built a restaurant with a swimming pool entirely by hand.
The new venue-restaurant was inaugurated this month in Nikitari village combining food, signature cocktails and special mixed shisha flavours next to a swimming pool. Built amidst the olive trees, the Olive Garden is for now only open from Friday to Sunday, while the location is available to book for events.
To reduce the costs, the Georgiou family put in most of the manual work themselves.
“It was all made by my family with our own hands, from the swimming pool to the restaurant’s tables,” Georgiou said. His father owns the property, while his siblings, Antonis and Eleni Georgiou help with management.
Because it was built on farmland, the dream-like venue came with a price as the process for building license took longer than expected. “It took us about three years to obtain a license for our business,” the 26-year-old manager Costantinos Georgiou told the Cyprus Mail. “Many families are forced to build on residential land closer to the cities for the same reason” he explained.
“Our goal is to actively support the region we grew up in, with social responsibility” Georgiou said. “We strive to provide consumers with pure and high-quality products. We do not import anything. we only buy local food.”
In fact, most of the young village entrepreneurs feel strongly about using local materials and ingredients.
Also in a village at Troodos mountains, Eariko concept store started out as a café to be turned into a traditional delicatessen. “Our philosophy is to support small Cypriot producers” 25-year-old owner Michalis Xenophontos said. The reason why the coffee-lover decided to open Eariko is so he can follow his passion while staying at home.
Xenophontos also wished to do that without depending on financial institutions. “I saved for two years because I didn’t want to owe money to a bank,” the coffee shop owner said.
Apart from ‘buying local,’ young entrepreneurs also aim to increase agrotourism.
Andreas Markou, the owner of the only bar in Kalopanayiotis said he relocated from Nicosia back to the countryside this summer to reopen Markos River Park near his family’s restaurant and offer a night out to the nearby residents.
“I decided that if I would start anything new, it would be in my village to attract more people to rural areas” he said.
The bar is built next to a river and consists of a large outdoor space that fits about 250 people with Covid-19 restrictions. It hosts famous musicians and Djs including DJ Gee Papa aka George Papapetrou who broke the Guinness Record of 116 Hours Non-Stop Mixing in 2008.
In August, owner wants to turn the bar into bouzoukia while continue to offer shisha and live music.
As the Cyprus government has plans to support this kind of youthful entrepreneurship, we may see much more of it in the future.
A British national who died in a car accident in Paphos on Monday suffered a heart attack, police said on Wednesday.
The care of Ian Henri Pringle, 76, a permanent resident of the coastal town, had diverted from its course on the Paphos-Kouklia road, near the Kouklia exit.
It first crashed into a road railing and then overturned in an adjacent field before coming to a standstill.
Traffic police on Thursday called for caution since works are undergoing on the Limassol-Paphos highway, near the Ayios Syla junction.
The works, which go on for one and a half kilometres long, started at 9 in the morning and will be completed at 2:30 in the afternoon.
During this time, the right lane of the road – from the Limassol to Paphos direction – will be diverted to the left lane, police also said.
More than 15.01 million people have been reported to be infected by the novel coronavirus globally and 616,276 have died, according to a Reuters tally.
Infections have been reported in more than 210 countries and territories since the first cases were identified in China in December 2019.
At the same time, Australia reported its highest daily number of coronavirus-related deaths in three months on Thursday as new infections continued to climb in its second most populous state.
Victoria state said it had confirmed another 403 infections, while five people had died from the virus in the last 24 hours.
The fatalities, including a man in his 50s, mark the country’s biggest one-day rise in COVID-19 deaths since late April.
The request of the 19-year-old British woman on trial for the well-known case of alleged gang rape, to bring Fair Trial Europe, before the Supreme Court to intervene in the appeal process as a “friend of the Court” (amici curiae) has been denied.
The decision of the Supreme Court was unanimous.
Nikoleta Charalambidou, the defence attorney of the 19-year-old, appealed the Famagusta District Court’s conviction decision on 14 grounds.
The Supreme Court ruled that the applicants were not convincing that their intervention would be helpful in the work of the court; therefore, their application to testify was rejected.

House Education Committee members want camping holidays for children in Cyprus to come under a legal and audit framework, Philenews reported on Thursday.
The Ministries of Education, Health and Labour, as well as the union of municipalities and communities are all keen to contribute towards that goal, it added.
However, Committee chairman Kyriacos Hadjiyiannis told participants at the meeting of Wednesday that a legal framework could restrict both organisers and participants.
The issue will be monitored by the Committee, but no clear instructions and timetables have been given to all involved, Philenews also said.
Opposition MPs demand that the executive power submits in writing what it intends to do on this issue.
