Concerning the choice of the Council of Ministers to offer residents with self-tests as of 13 December, the Ministry of Well being informs that self-tests might be out there freed from cost in pharmacies as of December twentieth, and {that a} pack of 5 self-tests might be supplied to every one who has accomplished his/her vaccination scheme.
It’s famous that the delay is because of the truth that the Ministry of Well being has taken the required steps to make sure that the self-tests that will be acquired in Cyprus would detect all mutations, together with “Omicron”. Self-tests might be out there from pharmacies, that are contracted with the Basic Healthcare System, upon presentation of proof of identification beneficiaries. Beneficiaries are people who’ve accomplished their vaccination scheme. People who’ve accomplished their vaccination scheme in Cyprus and aren’t beneficiaries of the Basic Healthcare System will have the ability to obtain the self-tests from varied factors to be introduced in every District. Extra data might be given within the following days relating to the use and disposal of self-tests.
