Corona virus categories.

Post by El tel »

The UK has placed quarantine restrictions on Austria as the situation their is much worse than the United Kingdom. Cyprus rates Austria as a category A country yet the U.K. is rated category B . Does that not seem to be an a anomaly?

It all has to do with the reproduction number.

I assume then that the reproduction figures are higher in Austria than the UK at the moment . Perhaps Cyprus will do an update in the next few days in any change in categories.

On Monday, Cyprus’ Ministry of Health announced that 10 countries are being downgraded and one country is being upgraded after reviewing the epidemiological risk for passengers travelling from these countries.

Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, Ireland and Iceland move from Category A to Category B.

Croatia, France, the Netherlands, Andorra and Tunisia move from Category B to Category C.

Sweden moves from Category C up to Category B.

New categories will be valid starting August 28.
