Greece lifting coronavirus measures with some exceptions
Minister Thanos Plevris said he proposed the lifting of measures at the ministry's coronavirus experts committee that convened earlier in the day, and the committee agreed.
The formal end of the coronavirus measures for the general public will be announced shortly.
More specifically, Mr. Plevris , regarding yesterday's meeting of the Committee of Experts, stated:
"At today's meeting of the Committee of Experts, the Ministry of Health proposed the lifting of the measures in force against Covid-19 with the exception of public and private health structures and Elderly Care Units.
The proposal was accepted by the Commission and the lifting of the measures is expected. However, there remains the need to protect vulnerable groups against Covid-19 and for this reason it is recommended to observe personal protection measures, up-to-date vaccination and receive antiviral treatment for those who are ill."
The Covid-19 virus appeared in Greece in February 2020, and measures that were introduced in Greece shortly after were updated on a periodic base thereafter.
