Zusammenfassung
So far there the impact of the Corona virus on the divided island of Cyprus has received very little attention in the international media. At the moment the situation is still under control. As of 2 April, out of the roughly 1,2 million inhabitants of the island 397 infections have been documented, eleven people have died. Strict curfews have been imposed in order to contain the virus and public life has come largely to a standstill. But the health systems on both sides of the divide are ill prepared for a dramatic increase in numbers of corona patients. Should the current measures fail to contain the virus then the consequences for the island could be catastrophic This report analyses the current situation on both sides of the divide, the measures taken and assesses the possible socioeconomic impact of the disease.
