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).

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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
