Cyprus temporarily closes schools in capital over coronavirus

Cyprus locked down its largest hospital for 48 hours after a heart surgeon tested positive for coronavirus. AFP/Iakovos HatzistavrouNICOSIA: Cyprus said on Tuesday it was closing schools in the capital, banning mass gatherings and locking down a hospital to combat novel coronavirus, after three people on the Mediterranean island tested positive for coronavirus.

The Republic of Cyprus' health ministry said all schools in the capital Nicosia will be closed for three days as a precaution against the virus. "All mass events, gatherings, concerts, parades in public places including football and other games are cancelled," Ioannou told reporters after a four-hour cabinet meeting held in response to the virus.

The other confirmed case in the Republic of Cyprus is a 25-year-old male citizen who had recently returned from a trip to Milan, Italy, officials have said. Gatherings of more than 75 people in a confined space are also banned, including church congregations which usually rise in the run-up to Greek Orthodox Easter.
