Speaking on ANT1 show, "Mera Mesimeri", the Professor of Infectious Diseases and Pediatrics, Dr. Maria Koliou, said that the measures are such that they do not need the cooperation of the people to be implemented.

As Ms. Koliou explained, there is no other way to properly monitor the population and control all those who are unruly for it and the rest will have to pay.

Continuing, he noted that the measures that came into force today are similar to those implemented in previous weeks in Paphos and Limassol and have worked as things have shown.

Ms. Koliou, pointed out that the right decisions were made for the two Provinces, following the instructions of the ECDC to take drastic measures at the local level, however, there was an increase in incidents in other cities, making it imperative to tighten measures.
