No longer bothering with Polis then?

I was tested this morning at Lidl. I have heard nothing so assume I was negative

And tomorrow's location iiiiis:

Church of Agios Kononas,
Kissonerga
9 a.m.-5 p.m.

Out of curiosity Trev, which Lidl was it?

Yes, rather bizarrely.

Actually, thinking about it, it does make sense. You can then test people who don't have access to transport etc.

The Lidl I was tested at was the Polis Road one. They just had a small stand, table and chars on the second car park behind the Trolleys

I had a test at Lidl about 3.30 this afternoon and just a negative result via text, if I could have been bothered to wait 30 minutes I would have got a written result, quite a few people waiting around for this, presumably to travel outside Paphos for work or whatever.

I have had a negative result via a text ..

They are no good for travel purposes.

The rumour mill suggests that Paphos will get a bit of a respite owing to the low results that the antigen tests have shown up compared to the rest of the island. We shall have to wait until later today to find out for sure though.

Saturday the train moves to Geroslipou:

The rapid coronavirus test (rapid test) in Geroskipou starts on Saturday.

According to an announcement by the Municipality of Geroskipou, the Ministry of Health, in collaboration with the company Mediwell and the Municipality, will offer a completely free rapid coronavirus test for the residents of Geroskipou.

On Saturday 28/11, there will be a sampling workshop in Geroskipou Square from 09.00 to 16:00.

The Municipality of Geroskipou invites the citizens to dedicate 5 minutes of their time and to take the test. Together we can and will manage to stop the transmission of the virus, completely free of charge, without terms and conditions, concludes D. Geroskipou in his announcement.

The roadshow moves on to Tala on sunday:

In Paphos tests will be carried out outside the New church of the birth of Christ in Tala.

None in Paphos tomorrow
