Rapid antigen testing for employees and the general population – Testing units, 9 February 2021
Aiming at the continuous surveillance of the epidemic picture in Cyprus, the Ministry of Health continues the free programmes of rapid antigen testing of the general population and employees. The increased number of tests in the community constitutes a decisive factor of the strategy for the gradual lifting of the restrictive measures.
For the smooth and safe operation of businesses that have been activated according to the Decrees, employers in businesses, as well as the Heads of Departments/Services in the public and wider public sector, are obliged to coordinate the rapid testing of the employees, so that the mandatory weekly testing of the personnel, through the rapid antigen test, is ensured as follows:
- Businesses/services employing up to 3 people, all employees should be tested.
- Businesses/services employing between 4 to 10 people, at least 4 employees should be tested.
- Businesses/services employing more than 11 people, at least 4 people or 20% of employees should be tested, whichever is higher in number.
Thus, employees may proceed to the testing units operating in all Districts, according to the plan designed by the employer/head. On Tuesday, 9 February, the testing units will be operating as follows:
