Speaking to SKAI tv, the Minister of Development, Adonis Georgiadis, left open the possibility of taking other measures to limit the unvaccinated, depending on the epidemiological conditions.
Asked if, for example, they could be excluded from the restaurant or tested daily, Mr Georgiadis replied that “all of this is possibly open, it could potentially happen if the situation gets much worse”.
He categorically ruled out the possibility of a universal lockdown, saying that all measures taken by the government are aimed at not affecting the lives of vaccinated people who are at risk of contracting coronavirus but are not at risk of dying.
He expressed satisfaction with the implementation of the new measures, saying that they “detached” the course of vaccinations as they have led to hundreds of first-dose appointments.
Regarding the mandatory vaccinations, Mr. Georgiadis replied that apart from the health vaccines, nowhere in Europe has it been imposed and that a democratic state cannot force someone to be vaccinated.
