Government of the Republic of Cyprus introduced new requirements and restrictions for residents and tourists who have not been vaccinated against coronavirus since 1 August. The measures have been agreed with the Cypriot government.
Unvaccinated guests of the island will therefore be required to undergo either a PCR test or a rapid test for coronavirus antigens on the seventh day after arrival in Cyprus. In addition, tourists will also need tests to enter the republic.
This requirement will not apply to passengers who have been vaccinated and have had coronavirus in the last 180 days.
Laboratories at Larnaca and Paphos airports will change working hours for Cypriots who come home from 1 August. Only vaccinated islanders, children aged 12-15 and passengers who are contraindicated for coronavirus vaccination for health reasons will be able to transmit the texts.
For unvaccinated citizens of Cyprus, the same system will work as for foreigners. They will also have to carry out a test in the country of departure, if not in the green category, at least 72 hours before departure.
