Cypriot authorities have announced stricter controls on social gatherings to tackle the world's worst Covid-19 infection rate per capita, reports AFP.
Ministers at a cabinet meeting imposed restrictions on church gatherings and home visits as Cypriots prepare to mark the Epiphany on Thursday, a key date in the Greek Orthodox religious calendar.
Home visits will be limited to 10 people — half the number previously permitted, and not including children under 12 — while church attendance will be restricted to a maximum of 200 people.
