The Cypriot Ministry of Health has placed Greece on the green list of Cyprus’ colour-coded country categorization travel system, based on a new epidemiological risk assessment of countries. The new changes come into force Thursday, July 1.

Cyprus’ green list indicates low risk countries at current stage. These are:

• EU member states: 1) Malta, 2) Poland, 3) Romania, 4) Austria, 5) Bulgaria, 6) Czech Republic, 7) Hungary, 8) Germany, 9) Italy, 10) Finland, 11) Slovakia , 12) Croatia, 13) Estonia, 14) France, 15) Greece, 16) Lithuania, 17) Luxembourg, 18) Slovenia
• Schengen member countries: 1) Iceland, 2) Norway, 3) Switzerland, 4) Liechtenstein
• Third Countries: 1) Australia, 2) New Zealand, 3) Singapore, 4) Saudi Arabia, 5) South Korea, 6) Israel

“Passengers coming from the Green Category countries are not required to hold a COVID-19 test certificate or self-isolate,” the health ministry said in an announcement.

Greece was previously on Cyprus’ orange list.

It is reminded that all passengers, regardless of a country’s category, including those holding a valid certificate of vaccination, are obliged to apply for the CyprusFlightPass 48 hours before the departure of their flight.
