The government sent out a text message throughout the day on Thursday to peoples’ mobile numbers asking them to “limit movements to the absolute necessary”.
The text message highlights the importance of self-isolation and reducing contact with other people so as to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.
It reads, in full: “We are at a critical stage. Isolation minimises the spread of Coronavirus. Limit movements to the absolute necessary. Protect high-risk population. Ministry of Interior PIO.”
Some Cypriots received the message in English and others in Greek.
Many others have not received the government’s text message.
