More details emerge on the lockdown changes for next week. We are going into a long weekend as TRNC, along with most of the rest of the world, observes May Day. Makes one wonder why North Americans have chosen September for a holiday recognising labour. Chosen by Americans because it was midway between Independence Day and Thanksgiving. Did May 1 just seem too socialist? Anyway, the three day weekend creates a pause before the lockdown relaxation begins.
Some changes take effect on Monday. Interestingly, Sundays remain as they are now, with the same limited destinations. However, on other days we will be able to walk where we like while still wearing masks and observing social distancing. No group gatherings. Restaurant takeaways from May 11 after each restaurant wishing to be included has satisfied the authorities regarding their hygiene provisions. Gradual increases in the types of services provided. It’s been a very strict lockdown, and there have been violations - and fines - but overall seems to have worked well. Now down to three active covid-19 cases in the country.
