On the Greek jet set island of Mykonos, there is a nocturnal ban on going out in bars for seven days due to disregarded corona rules.
The Greek government surprisingly imposed the measure on Saturday.
Starting with the night on Sunday, nobody is allowed to go out on the streets for the next seven days between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m.
There are only exceptions for emergencies and for night workers.
Music is also no longer allowed to be played in all bars.
As the Greek civil defense announced on Saturday, more than ten percent of the tests in the corona rapid test controls were positive in the past few days. The quarantine shelters are already overcrowded, said the chief of the island's health service, Dina Sampsouni, on state television. Greek media reported that there had been a "hail of canceled bookings" following the announcement of the local lockdown.
Mykonos is known as a popular travel destination for predominantly wealthy people from countries in the Eastern Mediterranean. In addition, top football players, actors and other celebrities spend their holidays on the small Cycladic island. Most recently there were parties with hundreds of guests almost every day, where people celebrated all night long without distance and without a mask. The government in Athens announced last week that it would not endanger the country's tourism under any circumstances because some irresponsible entrepreneurs and guests disregarded any protection rule against Corona.
