- Hospitalisations for Covid-19 and Influenza A are on the rise in Limassol, according to recent records from the district general hospital.

Covid-19: Recent Figures Reveal Alarming Trends
The statistics paint a concerning picture: Covid-19 patients at Limassol hospital rose from one on Sunday to five by Monday. At the same time, cases of Influenza A surged from 14 to 25 within the same timeframe.
Anticipation of Seasonal Trends
Charilaou acknowledged that the rise in cases was expected, particularly during late January and early February when a secondary wave typically surfaces. He noted, “We certainly expected that there would be a new increase in our cases.” The spokesman emphasised the need for continued vigilance as these trends develop.
Community Virus Activity Under Observation
Doctors are closely monitoring virus activity within the community. Charilaou suggested that additional data from the health ministry will be necessary to gain a fuller understanding of the situation. He stated, “As for virus activity in the community, we will likely need data from the health ministry.”
Current Status on Mortality Rates
Concern surrounding mortality rates related to these illnesses remains critical. Charilaou elaborated to the Cyprus Mail that he was unaware of any new deaths associated with Covid-19 or Influenza A beyond what was announced by the health ministry. He highlighted that only the ministry has comprehensive data concerning both public and private sectors, as all deaths are reported directly to their office.
