According to the current Decree, employees in companies / professions that are reactivated on February 8 are obliged to undergo a rapid antigen test before returning to their workplace. In this context, the pan-Cypriot program of free control with rapid antigen test of the Ministry of Health continues, in order to ensure that the reopening of companies / sectors will be done smoothly and safely.
Based on the above and to enable the control of all employees who will return to their workplace, the employees have been grouped alphabetically based on their last name , as follows:
| Day / Date | Adjective –
Greek alphabet |
Adjective –
Latin alphabet |
| Friday, February 5 | Μ – Ο | N – R |
| Saturday, February 6 | Π – Σ | S – V |
| Sunday, February 7 | Τ – Ω | W – Z |
Employees are encouraged to adhere to the above alphabetical grouping , so that the program is organized and to avoid overcrowding and hassle. Those employees with an adjective from Α – Λ (Greek alphabet) and A – M (Latin alphabet) who did not undergo a laboratory test, are asked to do so in the following days, since a condition for returning to work is the presentation of a negative result rapid test .
