schema:articleBody	The Republic of Cyprus announced on Wednesday it would introduce a nationwide night-time curfew and other measures in a bid to curb a spike in coronavirus cases. After keeping infection numbers low through most of the summer, the eastern Mediterranean island has seen daily infections rise to record three-digit figures. A curfew will be in force from 11 pm to 5 am (2100 GMT to 0300 GMT), and bars, cafes and restaurants will be required to close by 10:30 pm (2030 GMT). Health Minister Constantinos Ioannou said the new measures, in effect from Thursday, would remain in place until the end of the month. The Republic of Cyprus, which registered 166 new virus cases on Wednesday, has officially recorded 5,100 infections and 26 deaths. Two thirds of those cases have been reported since the start of October. The island had largely kept a lid on the pandemic by introducing an early lockdown and curfew in March, which were gradually eased from early May. Authorities are keen to avoid another draconian lockdown, with the economy already in recession. Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades urged "fatigued" Cypriots to comply with the new measures. "The daily increase of cases can take uncontrollable dimensions, threatening the health system, jobs, the well-being of everyone," he warned Wednesday in a televised address. Health authorities blame the spike on Cypriots flouting hygiene rules, including on mask-wearing and social distancing. Face masks are mandatory indoors and outdoors, except at home. Hospitality venues are operating at a reduced capacity, while household gatherings are limited to 10 people. A curfew was already in place in the city of Limassol -- the island's virus hot spot, with 420 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, Ioannou said -- and the resort town of Paphos. The health minister also announced further restrictive measures in those two districts, including the closure of gyms and children's play areas. The breakaway Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, only recognised by Ankara, has registered 949 virus cases, including five deaths. cc/lg
