Restaurants open for delivery service in north Cyprus today

After two month of lockdown, the TRNC government eased some restrictions on Monday, which allows restaurants and other business to open for service.

Under the new development, restaurants will now be able to offer delivery and take out services provided their workers have been screened for the coronavirus. They must also have a certificate that staff have tested negative for the virus. 

The easing of the restriction does not apply to hotels.

According to report, about 4,000 workers in the sector have been screened. 

Also, the TRNC on Monday introduced new working time for civil service, which is earlier than other years but not all departments and services have resumed operations.

Until now, civil servants have been working remotely and only for emergencies.

The summer hours, which will run until September 21, are 8am to 2.30pm daily apart from Thursday. On Thursdays work starts at 8am with a break at 12.30pm and then from 1pm until 5.30pm.
