According to reports, as the Greek government’s unsealing plan is increasing attention, Greek government spokesman Peroni 19, said the restrictions on the adjustment and whether Greek Easter will allow people to travel across the region, will be made this week. Health experts will then assess the latest outbreak data.
“We’re at a critical crossroads right now, and on the one hand we’re going to have to consider whether we’re going to adjust the current measures when the holidays come, but on the other we’re going to have to think about the impact of changing those measures,” Peloni said. We need to plan for longer-term summer goals. “This partly reflects the difficulties facing the government.
For now, the Greek government’s plan is likely to resume operations on May 8th after the Easter holidays and allow people to travel across regions. The aim is to avoid the spread of the outbreak over Easter due to the movement of people.
