Cyprus has third lowest number of deaths by drowning

Cyprus is among the three EU countries with the lowest recorded number of deaths by drowning in 2022, Eurostat said on Tuesday.

With summer in full swing, “swimming pools and beaches are bustling with visitors, however they carry an increased danger of drowning incidents,” the EU statistics agency said.

In 2022, there were 4,810 drownings across the bloc, 194 less than in 2021, which represents a 3.9 per cent decrease.
