Last week, transport minister Yiannis Karousos said a new Covid "action plan" would come into effect from 1 March 2021.


The new measures, said Karousos, will allow for "the gradual resumption of flights and the reopening of airports" according to four colour-coded categories applied to all source markets.


Anyone who has been vaccinated will be exempt from providing evidence of a pre-travel negative Covid test or taking a test on arrival as per an explicit provision in the action plan.
