The team of scientists will meet on Tuesday to advise the government on the further lifting of restrictions on domestic measures still in effect and the cabinet will convene on Wednesday to act upon the advice of the committee.

Cyprus abolished most travel restrictions on Monday and a further relaxation of domestic COVID-19 measures will be decided later this week, the authorities said. The Ministry of Transport said that travellers from any country can enter Cyprus by presenting either a certificate of COVID-19 vaccination or recovery or a negative COVID-19 test.

Travellers will no longer be required to take a COVID-19 test on entry and people under 12 years of age will be exempted from any COVID-19 test checks. Vaccinated people will have no expiry date for the booster dose, while initial vaccination regimens, for example, the initial two doses or one dose for Johnson vaccine recipients will be valid for nine months from the date of their latest dose.

The health ministry clarified that the medical circumstances in Cyprus have been the best for the last 5 months and this will allow for the lifting of the requirement of presenting SafePass before entering shops and malls. You will still need the SafePass for restaurants and other hospitality locations. 

The team of scientists will meet on Tuesday to advise the government on the further lifting of restrictions on domestic measures still in effect. Then the cabinet will convene on Wednesday to relax any measures based on the meeting. They have announced that lifting the use of indoor masks will be one of the last measures to be lifted. 

As part of the relaxation of restrictions, the authorities have stopped announcing the number of daily COVID-19 infections and that of people being hospitalized. They said the data will be made public once a week.
