Unionized public medical staff plan to strike and protest across Cyprus on July 2-3. The industrial action was called following unsuccessful negotiations over salary increases. Participants could organize pickets near major medical institutions across Cyprus during the strike days.
Medical service disruptions are likely in Cyprus July 2-3. Disruptions might continue through early July 4 as medical staff clears the backlog caused during the 48-hour strike. Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are possible near any demonstrations that might materialize.
Reconfirm all medical appointments at public and private clinics and hospitals during the strike period. Avoid all demonstrations as a standard precaution. Strictly heed instructions from authorities.
