Αssociated Press reports from Nicosia that restaurants and malls in Cyprus will lose the critical Christmas and holiday period for customers and sales, ordered to close as of Dec. 11 until the end of the year in an attempt to slow the spread of COVID-19, as will churches.
“There is no such thing as good or nice restrictions, these are necessary, and mainly unpleasant, but we have to safeguard life. Our health comes first,” Health Minister Constantinos Ioannou told a news conference, noted Reuters.
