More schools, gyms to open as Cyprus eases lockdown

Cyprus on Thursday announced that more children will return to school while tentatively opening gyms as it gradually exits a national lockdown to contain Covid-19 infections. Health Minister Constantinos Ioannou said the government was determined to allow a return to normal life 'slowly, carefully and in a controlled manner'. The number of new Covid-19 infections has been stabilising and hospital admissions are down, he said.
