Attorney-General George Savvides and House President Annita Demetriou, discussed the need to replace old laws on quarantine and tackling fires with new, updated rules that will be more effective and with stricter fines.
The two met on Monday in a formal yet important meeting, according to Savvides, who said they examined a new legislation to tackle the problem of fires with stricter sentences.
He also said they discussed replacing the outdated Quarantine Law with a law for Contagious diseases which will still give the cabinet and the Health Ministry the right to issue decrees to avert the spread of diseases, like COVID-19 which developed into a pandemic.
