Late on Thursday three other persons visited Limassol general hospital and were being tested for the coronavirus Covid-19.
The three had recently returned to Cyprus from northern Italy.
Two are a couple; the third person exhibited flu-like symptoms, health officials said.
Three others were earlier quarantined at Limassol hospital.
The tourism industry in Cyprus also appears to be feeling the heat, especially after the latest news that 1000 guests and employees at a hotel in Tenerife have been quarantined.
The Cyprus Hoteliers Association (PASYXE) has already sent out a circular to members on the protocol a hotel must follow if a suspicious case is reported. The specific hotel will have to be quarantined for two weeks.
So far, according to media reports in Cyprus, bookings for the summer season have not been affected by the virus outbreak.
The Netherlands, Denmark, Estonia, Norway and Romania all reported infections for the first time, joining Italy, Austria, Croatia, France, Germany, Greece, North Macedonia, Spain, Sweden and Britain.
South Korea, with the largest outbreak outside of China, reported 256 new cases Friday, bringing its total to 2,022, and officials made plans to test an estimated 200,000 members of a church that has become one of the epidemic’s hot zones.
