Coronavirus: Glafcos Clerides Institute sets up info and support website

A research centre named for a former president has transformed its website into an interactive platform with the latest coronavirus updates.

The Glafcos Clerides Institute announced on Thursday its website had been transformed into a user-friendly information and support centre.

The website incorporated the interactive portal showing the spread of the coronavirus on the map created by the University of Cyprus’ Kios Research and Innovation Centre of Excellence.

The portal shows how many people were tested and how many have the virus in each area.

Users of the websites have access to all the measures and announcements issued by the state during the pandemic. The website also has archived relevant laws and decrees issued to restrict the spread of Covid-19.

A support forum was also launched, where users can submit their questions and opinions as well as discuss relevant issues.

The Executive Director of the Institute, Nicosia MP Michalis Sophocleous is the curator of the website. The website will be constantly updated and expanded.

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.
