Coronavirus: Cabinet to consider new measures as cases surge

December 1, 2021

A ‘work-from-home’ order for 20 per cent of a businesses’ staff is expected to be among the proposals submitted by the health minister to Thursday’s council of ministers meeting.

Health Minister Michalis Hadjipantelas has also sought the opinion of the attorney general on mandatory vaccinations for certain professional groups.
 
Government spokesman Marios Pelekanos told state broadcaster CyBC that mandatory vaccination is not a measure which is likely to be taken ‘within the immediate timeframe’ – as the aim is to improve the situation so that such a measure is not necessary.
