Re: Cyprus To Be Removed From UK Travel Corridor on Sunday Nov 1st

I was faintly hoping things might have improved by November, but sadly not. I'm going to miss my one & only grandsons first birthday. :(

Re: Coronavirus: masks to be worn outside, curfew in Paphos and Limassol

Went out walking (for exercise) yesterday afternoon along the coastal path in Chlorakas & less than 50% wore a mask. I wasn't wearing mine until I was approaching people, also out for their exercise. The people I was approaching however, didn't put on a mask!

Re: Travel Insurance for medical conditions

Strictly speaking, if you are a UK Citizen living abroad, you are not entitled to use the NHS. However, if you have the EHI card then any medical attention will be covered by the NHS. Perhaps all you need is cancellation policy?

Nothing to do with no parking otherwise they wouldn't have painted them in official parking spaces such as all the way down Chlorakas Hill. I wouldn't be too sure about that!
