Cyprus has announced partial lockdowns in its virus hotspots on the Mediterranean coast and other measures in an effort to curb a spike in coronavirus cases.
The resort towns of Limassol and Paphos on the south coast are to go into partial lockdown from Thursday until the end of November, AFP reported.
Health Minister Constantinos Ioannou said that travel into or out of the towns would be banned, and a curfew in force from 8 pm to 5 am.
After keeping daily infection numbers low through most of the summer, the divided island has seen them rise to record three-digit figures.
