At a time when the coronavirus continues to “hit” the country, the government is trying to come up with a plan to return to normalcy.
This “operation” is the great bet of the prime minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis and as everything shows, it will be done with the dropper.
The government’s objective is to arrive safely until the vaccine arrives in our country and that is why it is preparing its plans for a gradual and, above all, careful exit from the confinement so that there are no setbacks.
In parallel, an information campaign on vaccination will be launched at the beginning of the year, which will last until March, so that as many people as possible are convinced to do so.

“We are waiting for the green light from the Commission to open retail.” There is no time for them to open every week, they will open every 3-4 days, “he added.
“Obviously hairdressers, toys, bookstores and flower shops will precede it. “So, if everything goes well and we work with them open for 3-4 days and we see that things are under control and the measures are mainly observed, we will go to the rest of the retail trade,” he stressed. He clarified that he, as Minister of Development, plans to open all retail trade during the holidays, “because it is a great loss for a company not to work during this period.”
