NICOSIA, Jan. 20 (Xinhua) Cyprus plans to reopen its airports to visitors from all countries on March 1, Deputy Tourism Minister Savvas Perdios told CyBC state television on Wednesday. This means that passengers will be able to visit Cyprus without quarantine restrictions, unless they test positive for COVID-19 on arrival, Perdios said.
He said that the 56 countries with which Cyprus has an air connection will be designated colors according to their coronavirus pandemic situation.
Passengers arriving from green category countries will not have to take a COVID-19 test, while those flying in from orange category countries will be obliged to present a negative test certificate before boarding a plane. Passengers arriving from red category countries will have to be tested both before boarding and after arrival.
