The Fire Department has started the summer wildfire season fighting fires continuously over the last few days. On Tuesday morning, the fight continues on two fire fronts, in Itea and Kranidi. With the crack of dawn firefighting aircraft and helicopters took to the skies to contribute an effort to limit the fires that broke out yesterday. The fire in Itea, which broke out yesterday, is burning uncontrollably along an immense fire front which by evening had reached 20 kilometers.

All 177 blood tests carried out on persons that have been in contact with the 150 infected people at the refugee and migrant facility in Kranidi were negative for coronavirus, authorities announced on Thursday.

The Health Ministry's spokesman on novel coronavirus, Sotiris Tsiodras, expressed hope on Tuesday that the restrictive measures introduced to stem the pandemic may soon relaxed, if only gradually.
