Wide-ranging ministerial meeting in Greece focuses on implementation of Covid-19 measures

A ministerial meeting chaired by the Greek prime minister was held on Monday to focus on stepped up checks and inspections throughout the country to confirm that Covid-19 restrictions are applied and followed.

The meeting comes as the Mitsotakis government is vigorously promoting Covid-19 vaccinations, on the one hand, while at the same time gradually offering “perks” to vaccinated individuals and people that previously contracted the virus.

Moreover, a bevy of ministers have repeatedly precluded the possibility of another pandemic-related “lockdown” and more financial support measures for businesses and wage-earners, pointing instead to “no restrictions for the vaccinated”.

“We need to focus our attention on the sector of entertainment; on situations where the number of people exceeds limits and give rise to outbreaks,” Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis said.
