~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sorry, I couldn't get on here earlier

Night Everyone. Hope you are all safe and well <3

Night Ann :-D :-D <3 <3

In the beginning we were restricted how far we could walk the dog and or exercise away from the house.

It's public holiday tomorrow but Covid testing is still going on.

Oh yes I remember you saying about ID before :-( :-(

Nothing like that here..but plenty of Police stopping border traffic...especially at the weekends....so sad
:-(

Going to make meself a brew and have one of them liquors to
cheer meself up :-D :-D

Night Pat <3 <3 <3 enjoy your new phone
:-D

Mmmm not sure about our electronic shops as our nearest big outlet is over the border and we are not allowed to cross at the moment.

I did notice that WH Smith was open at our retail park...it was closed all the way through the last big lockdown...don’t know what’s changed there this time. Out of the whole park just them Boots Sparkles food and Tesco remain open :-(

They may bring in asking permission to leave the house again and having to have ID with you at all times

That’s what I was thinking when I read it Pat....because of all you have told us over the months..it’s been pretty dam strict there
:-(

most are closed Ann but electronics shops aren't closed, I got a new phone yesterday.

There isn't too much to do for a full lockdown.

I do dog walking, OH does shopping and that's the only time we go out.

Are non essential shops open Pat....swimming leisure gyms and hairdressers :-)

people are still going to work if they have to, round us there are several. Children are home, some shops are closed. Take aways are open.

I found it...think it is recent?

As Cyprus is bracing itself for another total lockdown – possibly as from the week’s end – epidemiologists on Tuesday are re-evaluating data on the ever alarming spread of the virus.

At the same time Cabinet is meeting on Thursday to take final decisions after working out the impact of a total lockdown on the Mediterranean island’s economy.

Health scientists, however, leave no room for optimism now that they have also confirmed that the new strain of coronavirus identified in the UK has been found in Cyprus as well.

“The experts have made it clear the new strain has an increased viral load with a higher transmission rate…this means it spreads quicker,” government spokesman Kyriacos Koushos told state radio early on Tuesday.

“You are all aware that we respect assessments and recommendations by our health experts, we take actions based on their warning,” he added.

In the meantime, authorities are making clear the health system is overburdened and on the brink of collapse as admissions of covid-19 patients reached a new high.

Daily news cases are in the hundreds since October 27 with the exception of Christmas and Boxing Day when a small number of tests were carried out.

On Monday, two deaths from coronavirus and 665 new cases were announced while 180 people were in hospital – 51 of whom in serious condition. And 22 patients were intubated.

The total number of coronavirus cases in Cyprus – so far – has now risen to 24,639.

I thought I read something about Full lockdown at the weekend....I can’t find it now :-(

we have been for a while including an 8 pm curfew, now we can't have people in the house that's the only difference to us (except work people).
