Action Plan

As the health and safety of our staff and guests is always our highest priority, an action plan has been designed.            

Procedures

The possible infected person will be guided immediately to a designated response room and local government health authorities will be informed to take over his/her care. 

Training

All staff has been trained on how to handle such a case, assuring the well-being of the possible infected person, and for preventing the spread of the virus. 

Safety

His/her regular and response room or workplace will be disinfected fully and his/her mates or colleagues will be tested.

• The Cyprus government is committed to taking care of all travelers who test positive for coronavirus during their stay. The government will transfer these persons to designated facilities, covering the cost of lodging, food, drink, and medication; the traveler will only need to bear the cost of their airport transfer and repatriation flight, in collaboration with their agent and/or airline. 

• A COVID-19 hospital with a surplus of available beds and intensive care units equipped with respirators, has been made available exclusively for travelers who test positive for coronavirus. 

• A person who tests positive for coronavirus, may alternatively choose to self-isolate in a private home / apartment rental, at their own expense, provided that their room is not shared with others and that they do not make use of public facilities.

The duration of isolation for positive cases is 7 days from the date of testing positive and they are then released without the need to test negative. The duration of isolation can be reduced further if a traveler tests negative for coronavirus on the 5th day after testing positive (test should be PCR and the cost borne by the individual). Note that during the isolation period, it is mandatory for the traveler to self-isolate in their room or designated spaces at all times.
