Do children need to be tested?

Hi, looking for some help.

I was speaking to a friend last night who has her 12 yr old grandson visiting from the UK. She says he had to be tested every three days during his visit.

Is this the case and do you have to pay for children to be tested as they do not qualify for the vaccine.

I ask because my 4 yr old grandson is due to arrive next Wednesday.

Got my answer at a pharmacy.

While there may be a test on arrival at the airport, only older children require to undergo testing.

Under 12’s are exempt from all testing in Cyprus.
