China News Service, July 10, according to the European Union quoted the Greek European Union News Agency, on the evening of July 9, local time, the Greek Ministry of Health said that Greece added 50 new patients with new crowns on the same day, with a total of 3672 diagnoses; the cumulative number of deaths was 193 people. A Greek government spokesman warned that as the people’s awareness of epidemic prevention is becoming more and more lax, the government may reimplement the restrictions next week.
On May 18 local time, the Acropolis of Greece was reopened to the public, attracting tourists to visit.
According to reports, the Greek government spokesman Petsas warned on the 9th that as the public's awareness of epidemic prevention is becoming more and more lax, the government may reimplement restrictions, including travel restrictions, next week.
Petsas said the authorities are determined to protect the "majority" from the "minority", "If necessary, the government may announce new restrictions next Monday (July 13)."
Petsas pointed out that the current focus of the Greek authorities is the development of the outbreak in the Balkan countries and the situation of passengers traveling to Greece through the Bulgarian land border station.
According to official data, from July 1 to July 7, of the 183 newly diagnosed new crown cases in Greece, 103 were related to travelers from abroad, accounting for 56%. This is in sharp contrast to the average value from mid-March to the end of June, when only 22.5% of confirmed cases were related to foreign travel.
The Greek authorities have requested to strengthen the number of people who enter the country from land border crossings, and about 90% of inbound passengers are required to undergo inquiries and virus tests.
The Greek authorities expect that the number of tourists entering the country from the land border will increase again this weekend, and there may be serious congestion at the border station.
Greek infectious disease expert Nikos Sipsas warned on the 8th that the Promahonas border crossing is like "a boiling pot" and "is a major danger to Greece."
On the other hand, the Greek authorities issued a joint ministerial decision on July 8. From now on, customers no longer have to wear masks when shopping in malls and stores. But the clerk still needs to wear a mask or face mask. The store's regulations on restricting passenger flow continue to take effect.
For restaurants and cafes, the rule of 6 people per table is eliminated.
Although the Greek government lifted some of the restrictions, the compulsory measures that must wear masks in public transportation or in the waiting area still take effect. (Liang Manyu)
