The Ministry of Health gives a grace period of a few weeks regarding the control of digital certificates through the CovScan Cyprus application to premises and businesses where safepass demonstration is required.
According to what the spokeswoman of the Ministry of Health, Margarita Kyriacou, told the state channel, from Monday, November 8, the inspections will be carried out optionally, while from December 1st, the inspection by premises and businesses where safepass is mandatory, following a relevant decision of the Council of Ministers, becomes mandatory.
