Coastal Paphos aims to become island’s first Covid-free district

[memory man]

Coastal Paphos district aims to be the island’s first covid-free one with its positivity rate ranging between 0.02% and 0.03% over the past few days.

This is what Philenews reported on Wednesday, adding that the spectacular improvement of the city’s epidemiological condition has to also do with the fast pace of its vaccination programme.

Local authorities announced on Monday that Paphos records the highest population vaccination rate with over 46%.

At the same time, Philenews also said, the vast majority of Paphos residents follow the necessary health instructions and abide by Covid-19 restrictions.

In the spring of 2020, the epidemiological condition of Paphos was so bad that it had undergone a local lockdown, along with coastal Limassol.

Yes, that's certainly good news for Paphos! Paphos is much smaller than most of the other towns and has a much smaller population. Maybe its more isolated position being only easily accessible from Limassol must help. (though from the figures published daily on In Cyprus,
Limassol still has a higher number of covid cases).
However, I suspect that Cyprus may not feature on the UK's Green List until the whole island sees a similar reduction in cases. But judging by last summers lower figures of cases, once the hot weather kicks in here, the number of cases island wide should drop.
Fingers crossed!
