An ease of restrictions and Walking

As we enter our sixth week of Lock down due to the Corona virus, the Cypriot Pesident went on tv to announce a relaxation of the rules during the Corona virus crisis. From the 4th May.....

 (i) The number of permitted movements within a day by sending SMS increase to three (3). Ban on movement remains in place from 10.00 p.m. to 6.00 a.m.
(ii)As of May 4, the exercise of religion will be permitted in churches, mosques and other places of worship, provided that there are no more than 10 persons present. The decree on weddings, christenings and funerals remains in force.
 All businesses in retail trade, except commercial centres and big department stores, can start operating. It is understood that the operation of the shops shall be governed by the safety and health protocols as these will be determined by the competent Ministries of Health and Labour.
(iv)  Flee markets, street vendors and bazaars can open for business, always under the terms and conditions included in the relevant instructions of the Minister of Health.
(v)   Tourist offices and tourist agents can start working again.
More rules witll be relaxed later in May as long as there is no spike in the number of cases reported.
We have managed to go out Walking on most days and some of the trees and plants have exploded with colour in and around the village.
