Concern and concern prevail among them epidemiologists, who suggest tightening protocols.
Speaking on state radio, Professor of Molecular Virology, member of the committee, Petros Karagiannis, said that the issue has already been discussed and will be raised again in the next session and the protocol may change.
The weather, he added, and the fact that everyone is indoors favor the transmission of the virus. If someone is unvaccinated the risk increases, he explained.
According to information from Sigma, the advisory committee is expected to put the following proposals before the Minister of Health next week:
Self-restraint for the vaccinated as well.
- Administration of the third dose at five instead of six months.
Asked about the distribution of cases per city, Dr. Karagiannis said that by analogy the dispersion is the same in all cities with a slightly higher rate of positivity in Paphos. In Nicosia, he explained, more cases are recorded because a triple number of tests are performed.
