President Nicos Anastasiades will hold an urgent meeting with the epidemiological team on Saturday amid speculation authorities are considering new measures to contain the coronavirus outbreak after a record 104 positive cases found on Thursday.
It was the first time that daily cases went into triple digits since the start of the pandemic in March.
Shortly after the numbers were released, Anastasiades called on the public on Twitter to strictly adhere to the measures already in place.
