Here is the announcement of the United Cypriot Hunters Movement for the new measures for hunters:
After communication of our Movement together with the Head of the Thera Service, a responsible person of the Ministry of Health but also the Advisor to the President On hunting issues we were informed the following.
The hunt will continue normally as a reference for the excursions, but also for the departure time which is from 03,00 as provided by the previous decree.
The hunt will be carried out according to the new measures with the exclusion of the Paphos and Limassol areas in accordance with the prohibitions that apply to all citizens.
No citizen living in Limassol or Paphos is allowed to enter them. At the same time the citizens of the two provinces should each be limited to their own province.
Residents of the provinces of Famagusta, Larnaca and Nicosia can move freely in the three provinces.
We understand the seriousness of the situation and the rigor of the measures and we understand the frustration of some, but we will have to be patient until November 30.
We welcome the understanding of the government and the Ministry of Health who took into account the letters of all competent hunting agencies and fully understood the mental health of our fellow human beings and the fact that in nature there is no risk of transmission.
Unfortunately, something similar did not happen in Greece with thousands of hunters being irrationally locked in their homes, since the Greek government received pressure and did not make sense.
The narrow hunting margins of the hunting season do not allow for an extension of the hunt, which we would not seek either, as this would be detrimental to the breeding season of the prey.
We wish the whole world strength and understanding. It is a difficult time for all of us and we have to endure a little longer to get out of this pandemic as little as possible.
