Remands after , ‘largest ever’ weapons cache found (updated)

Two men, aged 46 and 35, were remanded in custody after the largest cache of weapons and explosives ever found in Cyprus was discovered in an Oroklini cemetery. The weapons included a rocket launcher, improvised explosive devices, and firearms. Police are investigating the origin and intended purposes of the arms, and have ruled out a terrorist attack. The 46-year-old man was seen taking a bag containing weapons from a grave, while the 35-year-old was also seen removing items from the same grave. The investigation includes examining CCTV footage, monitoring National Guard camps, and further examining the explosives found.

New platform in the works to monitor hospital infections

New platform in the works to monitor hospital infections

The government plans to launch an electronic platform to monitor healthcare-associated infections. The current methods of monitoring infections in Cyprus are not thorough enough, and the new platform will help hospitals carry out surveillance electronically so the data can be monitored by the health ministry. Cyprus has the highest rate of healthcare-associated infections in the EU and EEA, as well as the highest rate of antimicrobial use.
