Five new coronavirus cases from Limassol were announced by the health ministry on Saturday morning, bringing the total to 1,119.

According to the ministry, three cases arose from individuals tested on private initiative, a couple, who presented symptoms and were tested, and another individual, who was a contact of another previously confirmed case.

Two more cases were found from among 3,000 of the random samples being taken islandwide. Both cases were in Limassol.

Two of the five new cases arose from a breach of self-isolation measures.

A total of 990 teste were processed on Friday night.

PARLIAMENT VOTES TOUGHER FINES FOR DRIVERS [from 1 October]

Cyprus Mail 31 July 2020 - by Andria Kades



Traffic violations are set to become steeper and tougher starting October 1, after deputies voted on Friday a set of bills into law and approved regulations aimed at tackling irresponsible driving.

With an overwhelming majority, plenum voted in favour with two against, the laws and regulations aiming for road safety and a decrease in Cyprus’ high number of road deaths and serious injuries.

Based on the new rules, driving without a seatbelt or while using their mobile phone, the fine is €150 the first time around. Repeat offenders within a three-year period will see the fine doubled.

Driving without a helmet carries a €200 fine which shoots up to €400 if someone is caught again in the space of three years after their first fine.

Someone speeding is fined €1 for every km/h they are going above the speed limit up to 30 per cent of the speed limit. If the speed limit is exceeded between 31 and 50 per cent, the fine is €2 per exceeded km/h and for 51 to 75 per cent of the speed limit, the fine is €3 per exceeded km/h.

An individual drunk driving and speeding up to 75 per cent of the speed limit with their alcohol level up to 70μg/100ml can be issued two separate fines.

Overtaking where it is not permitted carries a €150 fine. The number is increased to €200 if someone overtakes on a pedestrian crossing.

Parking at a disabled parking is fined at €300

Fleeing a scene after an accident without offering help will constitute an offence which will carry a sentence.


CYPRUS READY FOR UK VISITORS BUT WILL THEY COME?

Cyprus Mail 1 August 2020 - by Bejay Browne

Transport Minister Yiannis Karousos and Justice Minister Emily Yiolitis at Larnaca airport on Friday (CNA)

LONG-AWAITED flights from the UK are set to resume today with arrivals at both at Larnaca and Paphos airports as Britain’s move to a category B country becomes official, though it comes at a time when cases are on the rise on the island after weeks of negligible numbers and zero hospitalisations or deaths from Covid-19.

There are five flights from Britain scheduled to arrive at Larnaca airport today and one on Sunday. As for Paphos, there are three flights scheduled from Britain today.

Transport Minister Yiannis Karousos paid a surprise visit to Larnaca airport on evening with Justice Minister Emily Yiolitis to determine whether protocols were being observed. “We want to send the message that checks will continue and will be intensified,” he said. Karousos said an increase in passenger traffic was expected due to the change in category for the UK. He said random tests would be increased from 600 to 1,000.

But although the island’s airports are ready, it is still unclear how many people will come from the UK.

A member of Paphos airport staff confirmed to the Cyprus Mail on Friday, that in total 17 arrivals are expected on Saturday and there will be 16 departures. They include the first flights of holidaymakers from the UK since travel restrictions were lifted, most of which are ‘turnaround’ flights.

“TUI and Jet2 have cancelled their flights for now until mid-August, and we have no indication as yet about passenger numbers arriving this weekend, we usually get sent a load message with total numbers when the flights leaves the departure airport,” he said.

Most of these flights are with carrier Ryanair, although one is a British Airways ‘turnaround’ flight from London Heathrow, the first for the airline since travel restrictions, due to the coronavirus pandemic, were put in place.

UK arrivals and departures include: Bournemouth, London Stansted, and an Easyjet flight from London Gatwick.

“We direct any calls from passengers requesting information about permitted entry into Cyprus to the official FlightPass site of the government, as all of the information is constantly updated on there. Things change so fast and it would not be good if we inadvertently misdirected someone,” another worker at Paphos airport said.

Holidaymakers and non-permanent residents must have evidence of a PCR test dated not more than 72 hours old before being allowed to enter the country. NHS tests are allowed with specific details.

All passengers, regardless of the category of the country they are arriving from, are required to apply for CyprusFlightPass (https://cyprusflightpass.gov.cy/) within 24 hours of their departure. They must fill out the form online and present it before boarding the aircraft and upon their arrival in Cyprus.

Everyone arriving and departing is also required to pass through a thermal camera which detects temperature levels, they are manned and operated by members of the health authority, the staff member said.

“If anyone shows a high temperature, the health authority will carry out further checks and also, if they don’t have the correct paperwork, immigration will deal with the matter in line with the government guidelines and protocols.”

He added that so far, a number of people arriving without tests were permitted to take a Covid-19 test at the airport, however, this would not apply to British holidaymakers.

“They must come with the correct paperwork and a negative test. It would be wrong not to and taking a big risk.”

And if car hire numbers are any indication as to passenger numbers from Britain, it’s not looking encouraging.

Petsas car hire, one of the oldest on the island, in operation since 1962, it also has a base at Paphos airport arrivals hall. They told the Cyprus Mail that they have no bookings at all from the UK.

They are usually fully booked at this time of year.

“We don’t have any pre-booked cars for the weekend or next week from the UK, which is usually our biggest market and we would usually have all of our vehicles out at this time of year, “

ACPL COMPLAINTS - MOLECULAR CONTROL MACHINES IN PAPHOS HOSPITAL IN DISUSE

Filenews 31 July 2020 - by Dora Christodoulou


In complaints about the non-use of PCR molecular control machines at Paphos Hospital to carry out the tests for coronavirus due to the lack of reagents, ACPL MP Paphos Andreas Fakonitis went ahead.

Although paphos Hospital has specialized personnel, ready to operate these machines and within an hour to have the relevant results, however, following instructions from the OKYPY, the samples are sent to Nicosia so that we have the relevant results after one to two days, points out in a statement Mr. Fakonitis:

"It is inconceivable that Paphos Hospital has two modern PCR machines, one of which was acquired following a donation from the Union of Communities, i.e. the residents of Paphos, but these remain in disuse due to the lack of reagents.

If the necessary measures are not taken to ensure that these machines operate at the Paphos Hospital for immediate publication of the results of the tests for coronavirus, the consequences in the event of a second wave of coronavirus will be tragic for the city and province of Paphos and with an increased risk of spreading the virus."

The failure to supply reagents to carry out examinations for the coronavirus at Paphos Hospital, as well as the decision of the OKYPY to send the samples to Nicosia, also points out the MP of ACPL Paphos, raises serious questions about this and has sent a letter to both the Minister of Health and the Executive Director of the OKYY.
