Vaccinations at Walk-In centres continue on Friday, he said adding that by 10:40 am (local time) a total of 338 vaccinations were held at the Walk-In centres throughout the government-controlled areas. In Nicosia 73 were held, in Larnaca 84, in Limassol 53 and 56 in Paphos.

«Walk-In» centres operate at the Latsia and Linopetra Health Centres, at the General hospitals of Paphos and Limassol and at Larnaca Port.
