Coronavirus: 151 tests on Polis residents all negative

Coronavirus tests carried out on 151 residents of the Polis area in Paphos have all come back negative, the mayor said on Friday.

Yiotis Papachristophi said most of those tested were Polis residents, three from Neo Horio, eight from Droushia, and seven from Kathikas.

The tests were subsidised by the municipality with the cost for each person being €55.

“We are very satisfied with the testing and the results,” Papachristophi said. “We must not be complacent, but we will continue by taking even stricter measures.”

Meanwhile, the town’s A&E department has reopened after three cases were detected at the health facility there.

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.
