Concerns revolve around the consequences of the birthday party, which was not only in violation of restriction measures, but could also have led to the infection of other family members who had attended, including the elderly father.

Also raising concerns is the identification of a COVID-19 positive case at the Panayia Eleousa nursing home in Nicosia’s Arhangelos area.
