The north also banned arrivals from the UK, the Netherlands, Denmark and South Africa due to the rise in coronavirus cases in these countries and the detection of a mutated coronavirus strain. Exempt are Turkish Cypriots, who will be taken for a 14-day quarantine upon arrival to the north.

As regards crossings, Turkish Cypriot authorities, citing the Christmas holidays in the south, banned pupils going to schools in the government-controlled areas and their family members from crossing between the two sides between December 25 and January 3, both dates included.

Workers too, will not be able to cross between the two sides during the same period. Those who will be working between December 23 and January 3, were asked to obtain a special document.

People living in the north and working in the south were told last week they could cross daily but upon their return to the north, they could not go home but would have to stay in ‘state’-monitored quarantine centres.
