As of the latest update by the Greek authorities yesterday, the total number of confirmed Covid-19 diagnosed cases in Greece is 10,134. 2 new deaths were reported raising the total number to 262. The number of patients treated in intensive care units stands at 35.
334 cases where announced throughout the weekend, pushing the Coronavirus cases in Greece to top 10,000 for the first time. Of these, 2,078 are linked to travel abroad and 4,448 are linked to other known cases.
The health authorities announced on Friday that from today, flights to and from Barcelona are banned. They also extended most of the travel restrictions for foreign visitors by three weeks due to a surge in Covid-19 infections.
The rise in coronavirus cases in recent weeks has forced Greek authorities to gradually reimpose restrictions in the capital Athens and other areas, including popular islands at the peak of tourism season to curb the spread of Covid-19.
Greece also requires visitors from a list of countries, including Belgium, Bulgaria, Romania, Malta, Sweden, Spain, Albania, North Macedonia and the United Arab Emirates to show a negative Covid-19 test to enter the country.
The restrictions will be extended until September 19, Deputy Civil Protection Minister Nikos Hardalias told reporters, adding that the Netherlands would be dropped from the list. Flights to and from Barcelona and Spain’s Catalonia region will be banned, he said.
Health authorities also said that restrictions, including a complete ban on festivities, a limit of nine people in all public and private gatherings and compulsory mask wearing in closed and open spaces, are imposed on the islands of Zakynthos and Lesvos as of last Saturday.
