The Cypriot Ministry of Health reports that the incidence of coronavirus in Cyprus after the Christmas holidays has almost doubled – partly because for the first time the statistics immediately include the results of rapid tests for COVID-19.

As of Monday’s results, there were 751 people infected in the country at once – recall that previously the daily record was 477 people. The total number of people infected with coronavirus exceeded 20,000.

At present 153 patients with confirmed coronavirus are being treated at four hospitals (51 of them are in serious condition).
