Coronavirus: Travellers from Cyprus to Estonia to have two week ‘restriction of movement’

Visitors from Cyprus will have to quarantine for 14 days if travelling to Estonia following a revised list of passenger requirements starting this Monday.

According to the Estonian foreign ministry, countries with a coronavirus infection rate above 16, individuals will have a mandatory two-week restriction on freedom of movement irrespective of whether they have symptoms or not.

“Restriction on freedom of movement means that the individual is obligated to refrain from unnecessary contacts for 14 days from their arrival in Estonia and is allowed to leave their place of residence or accommodation only for seeing a doctor, shopping for food, essentials and medicines, and in emergencies,” the ministry said.

The website noted Cyprus has 25.2 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in the last 14 days. The decision is valid from August 17 – 23.

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.
