"Hiking and staying in forests, national parks, natural areas is prohibited throughout the country," - the Greek edition of Protothema quotes the statement of Hardalias.

Also, any actions and work that can cause a fire, for example, welding and burning of flammable substances, are prohibited.

According to the Deputy Minister, the operational forces of the firefighters have been significantly strengthened.

In addition, Greece is expecting help in the elimination of wildfires from the UK.
