President returns to island in ‘very good’ health

President Nicos Anastasiades returned to Cyprus on Saturday afternoon and is in “very good” health, government spokesman Nicos Christodoulides has said.
In a written statement, Christodoulides says that “the President of the Republic Mr Nicos Anastasiades returned to Cyprus from Brussels, today at 5pm”.
The President, he added, “is in very good health”.
“The doctors have recommended that the President rests for the next 48 hours,” the spokesman added.
Anastasiades had travelled to Brussels to take part in the European Council meeting, where he suffered a prolonged nosebleed and was admitted to a hospital where tests established that he was suffering from hypertension. He spent Thursday evening in an ENT hospital for precautionary reasons after undergoing a nasal cauterisation.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
