Featured PM Mitsotakis: Opening of restaurants on June 1 is absolutely achievable

"If we continue to move as we have done in the last month in terms of the pandemic, the opening of restaurants on June 1 is something absolutely achievable," stated Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Tuesday, during a government video conference on the preparations for the lifting of curbs for coronavirus.

According to government sources, the main issue during the meeting was how to preserve jobs and the turnover of businesses ahead of their reopening, while complying with the rules set by the health committee.

"We want to give enterprises the ability to start operating again while respecting the instructions of the experts but not impose such harsh restrictions that business activity becomes impossible," said the prime minister, noting that he has spoken with the mayor of Athens and many other mayors and ministers on how to increase the amount of outdoor space available for restaurants to use.
