In Greece, the total number of people infected with coronavirus is not high, but earlier this week, 75 new cases of COVID-19 were recorded per day, and on Wednesday 150. In Greece, a total of 210 people died from COVID -19.
Greece introduced a requirement to wear masks in all rooms last Friday, as well as other restrictions aimed at controlling the COVID-19 outbreak, with a recent sharp rise in new infections in the country.
“The masks should be worn indoors throughout August,” said Nikos Hardalia, Deputy Minister of Civil Protection.
“In recent days, the implementation of the measures has been worse, large concentrations of people have been observed. This is reflected in the increasing number of new COVID-19 cases every day, ”he said.
Masks must also be worn in churches, but this requirement does not apply in restaurants.
