Supermarkets to Remain Open on Saturday, Day of George Vassiliou's Funeral

Supermarkets in Cyprus will remain open on Saturday, January 17th, despite the day being declared a public holiday due to the funeral of former President George Vassiliou. Andreas Hadjiadamou, Executive Secretary of the Pan-Cypriot Supermarkets Association, told CNA that the private sector, including supermarkets, will operate as usual. No changes are expected in working hours, with employees adhering to the regular Saturday schedule and relevant labor laws being applied. This decision appears to be based on the need for the continuous operation of the private sector, regardless of the day of the funeral.
