Two positive cases of measles have been recorded in Cyprus from the beginning of the year until today.
Following a rise in measles cases across Europe, the Ministry of Health has issued an announcement providing information and guidance to the public and travellers.
Since June 2023, a steady rise in measles cases has been observed in several European countries, with significant reports coming from Romania, the United Kingdom, Austria, and France, among others.
Cyprus had not reported any cases in the last two years, with previous sporadic cases largely attributed to imported incidents.
However, since the beginning of 2024, Cyprus has reported two cases of measles, both involving children.
