It is noted that the PCR test should be no older than 72 hours, and an express test done within 48 hours is also suitable.

The exception will be citizens who have stayed abroad for less than 48 hours and children under five years of age.

This measure will be valid until January 10, 2022.

In early December, the first case of the omicron coronavirus strain was recorded in Greece.
