Lockdown FAQ - April 2021

[Dominic]

This is the Offical FAQ for the new snap lockdown, as published by the PIO. In short, you can use one SMS to buy food, exercise in a park or beach, or visit a doctor etc. You don't need an SMS to exercise within 500 metres of your house.

Thanks, yes I looked for the English translation under the English language setting but hey - it no workey, but at least confirmation it is there in Greek.

I waited as long as possible before publishing this version, because as you say, there was no official English version. Eventually I got fed up with people asking about it though.

I use a laptop and the Google browser which has the facility to translate a page by a right click on the touchpad producing a drop down list which includes 'Translate in English'.

Very useful for reading the Cypriot newspaper Cyprus Times which tends to publish accurate reports before most of the mainstream media. CYPRUS TIMES: https://cyprustimes.com/
