The lockdown has been in effect since Saturday, but some seem uneasy about both the restrictions and the fact that the coronavirus is on the rise, threatening human lives.

With the situation tending to get out of control, with covid cases rising to over 800 in one day, the Hellenic Police (EL.AS.) is in condition "red" in order to monitor the observance of the measures.

The borders are being reinforced. With 400 police officers in the first phase being sent to Evros, and a total of 1,060 more personnel in a second phase in Evros and the islands, Greek borders are being strengthened in the wake of Turkish threats to relocate migrants from the Turkish side of Evros, as well as information and images of migrants accumulating on Turkish shores.
