More specifically, EODY said that the total number of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the period between February 26 and March 6 came to 30,899.

The scientific committee advising the government on the pandemic met on Wednesday and has recommended a further relaxation of the ongoing measures as the critical pandemic metrics are easing.

Specifically, according to information available to Kathimerini, the committee proposed that sporting venues be allowed to increase their capacity to 75%, up from the 50% currently permitted.

Additionally, the committee also discussed a reduction in the number of self-tests required in schools.

However, any final decisions are expected next week.
