Thursday, September 3, 2020

In Greece, confirmed coronavirus cases are increasing as the country opens its borders for tourism.

The government imposed several restrictions on almost every activity to stop virus spread.

On tourism industry, some restrictions have been removed whatsoever.
Also, from Monday, Greece is planning to ban flights to and from Barcelona said by health authorities on Friday, as they have extended majority of travel related restrictions for international visitors by three weeks keeping a tab on the rise in COVID-19 infections.

In recent weeks, the increase in infection cases has compelled Greek authorities to re-impose such restrictions slowly in Athens and other cities, including the famous islands at the peak of season to restrain the spread.

At the same time, Greece requires visitors from a list of countries, like Belgium, Bulgaria, Romania, Malta, Sweden, Spain, Albania, North Macedonia and the United Arab Emirates to produce a negative COVID-19 test to enter the country.
