As of the latest update by the Greek authorities, the total number of confirmed Covid-19 diagnosed cases in Greece is 412,420. 15 new deaths were reported raising the total number to 12,346. The number of patients treated in intensive care units is currently 381. 890 new cases were announced yesterday in Greece. 448 of the new cases were found in the Attica region and 84 new cases in the Thessaloniki region.
Greece will ease its existing coronavirus restrictions on Saturday, Greek Minister for Civil Protection Nikos Chardalias announced on Wednesday.
Since the country reopened after its six-month lockdown in May, there has been a nightly curfew running from 12:00 AM until 5:30 AM.
Starting Saturday, June 12, the nightly curfew will be moved to 1:30AM.
The curfew will end entirely on July 1, and nightclubs, which remained closed, will likely reopen on the same date.
Music to return to bars, restaurants, cafes
Since Greece’s lockdown ended, bars, restaurants, and cafes with outdoor seating have been open for business — but without music.
The measure was put in place to prevent further spread of the virus, as experts believed people would talk louder to be heard over the music, which emits more droplets into the air.
Music will return, however, on Saturday, according to the latest safety measures.
According to the latest easing of Greece’s coronavirus measures, which were approved by a panel of epidemiologists, Private tutoring schools, or “frontistiria,” will open their doors again on Saturday.
Starting on July 1, couples will be permitted to have up to 300 guests at their weddings.
The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines against Covid-19 will be made available to Greece’s island population, Health Minister Vassilis Kikilias said Tuesday.
The “Blue Freedom” operation, which involves 19 islands, has so far depended solely on the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
Employers can legally bar employees from the workplace if they refuse to get vaccinated against Covid-19, a legal expert said Wednesday.
Speaking on ERT public radio, Professor of Constitutional Law Antonis Manitakis said that “any measure deemed necessary for the protection of public health – and which is backed by the health experts committee – is lawful.”
Manitakis disagreed with comments made by Development Minister Adonis Georgiadis who said that private businesses should have the right to fire workers who refuse to get vaccinated against the virus.
“Dismissing [unvaccinated workers] would be an extreme measure. [Such policy] is neither necessary, nor legal,” said Manitakis, a former interior minister, adding that companies can legally separate vaccinated and unvaccinated workers – by shift or floor, for example.
Companies can nevertheless legally require vaccines as a condition of employment, he said.
