Threats issued against healthcare workers unacceptable
Statement by AKEL C.C. Spokesperson of AKEL Stefanos Stefanou on the circular issued by the director of Larnaca-Famagusta Health Services Organisation (OKYPY)
AKEL C.C. Press Office, 7th April 2020, Nicosia
It is a really shameful act that at the same time as healthcare workers are waging the battle against the coronavirus pandemic from the front lines, such decisions are being taken such as those of the director of the State Health Services Organisation (OKYPY) of Larnaca-Famagusta.
The decision taken, which threatens healthcare workers that if they do not comply with the instructions they will be forced into quarantine “without pay” is unacceptable and must be withdrawn immediately.
