What would be the direction of cyclone if it is generated in north hemisphere and moves to south hemisphere?

a cyclone in the northern hemisphere would rotate counter cw, in the southern hemisphere would rotate cw, however due to the fact that to create a cyclone you need a coriolis force, which is not present at the equator a cyclone could not "move" to the southern hemisphere. Cyclone do not cross the equator.
