The possibility of restaurants closing at 10:00 p.m. is open, if the development of the coronavirus pandemic cannot be controlled.

According to the Minister of Development and Investments, Adonis Georgiadis, although the concrete measure is not on the table, it is not ruled out that it will be implemented, if things get worse.

“As long as we cannot control the pandemic, we will take tougher measures to avoid a general lockdown, which will be catastrophic for the economy. So all other measures are on the table,” said A. Georgiadis, in today’s interview with MEGA, answering a question about the restaurant and the possibility that the stores close after 10 at night and not at 12 at night.

He added that “for the moment, this measure is not on the doorstep, without being able to rule it out, depending on the pandemic.”

He mentioned the example of Holland where bars and restaurants close at 10 and Belgium where they close at 11.

Mr. Georgiadis also emphasized that there is a clear difference in closing the stores at 10 instead of 12 at night.

“The sooner the centers are closed, the less social mobility is reduced. “The objective of the measures is to reduce social mobility,” he stressed.

Regarding the management of the coronavirus, he said that there are many coronavirus tests and that more than 25,000 tests are performed daily.
