Two health care workers and a member of the office staff of the A&E at Famagusta Hospital have tested positive for Covid-19, CNA reports.

It said the three were among the 30 new cases announced yesterday evening.

Ten people were yesterday asked to give a sample while the A&E has been disinfected.
