I would like to express my thanks, but also the gratitude of the state to all of you, because through the balanced approaches, your calm attitude, the thorough expression of views on the inappropriateness of the measures to be taken, the Republic of Cyprus has managed to take the praise of the international and European community for pandemic management.
And this is not accidental, since our small homeland, with the minimum measures both in duration and intensity, in relation to other countries, either in Europe or elsewhere, manages to appear with indicators that can make us all proud, if one considers that both with the vaccination program - to the extent that the pharmaceutical companies allow us, but it is fully utilized - and with the examinations, but most importantly, Cyprus is presented, a second country with a reduced mortality rate in the whole of Europe.
