Greece to gradually ease coronavirus restrictions
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
Greece will begin to progressively ease coronavirus (Covid-19) restrictions as of April 27, said Government Spokesman Stelios Petsas on Wednesday, stressing yet again that Orthodox Easter will be spent indoors in order to protect loved ones.
Petsas said the government was currently working on a plan to lift lockdown measures gradually based on epidemiological data and feedback from experts.
He stressed that the country’s “return to normalcy” will be “gradual and long-term and the transition will not be automatic”.
He went on to clarify that the plan will be “implemented in successive phases different for each sector and population group. Each step will be controlled and each subsequent action will depend on the results of the previous step. The results of the strategy will be evaluated daily”, he added.
The Greek government announcement comes after the European Commission put forth a roadmap on how to phase out containment measures in place across Europe, including the removal of travel restrictions and border controls.
