Rapid antigen testing for employees and the general population is in progress - Testing units
Employees returning to work on 8 February, according to the decree in force, must undergo a rapid antigen test during this week. Within this framework, the Ministry of Health is conducting a nationwide program of free screening with rapid antigen test, in order to ensure a smooth and safe reopening of businesses/sectors.
Based on the above and to make the screening possible for everyone returning to their work place, the employees are grouped alphabetically according to their surname, as follows:
|
Day/Date |
Surname – Greek alphabet |
Surname – Latin alphabet |
|
Thursday, 4 February |
Κ – Λ |
J – M |
|
Friday, 5 February |
Μ – Ο |
N – R |
|
Saturday, 6 February |
Π – Σ |
S – V |
|
Sunday, 7 February |
Τ – Ω |
W – Z |
Employees are encouraged to adhere to the above alphabetical grouping, so that the program will be carried out in an organized manner without overcrowding or inconvenience. The employees with a surname Α - Ι (Greek alphabet) and A - I (Latin alphabet) who have not proceeded for testing yet, are asked to undergo a test in the following days, since a negative rapid test outcome constitutes a requirement for returning to work.
The testing program for employees will be carried out at the same time as the testing program for the general population. In order to better serve all citizens, 55 testing units are operating in the whole of Cyprus, with extended operating hours for the period 4-7 February, as follows:
