Brit dies of coronavirus in Corfu after going to clinic with 'severe pneumonia'
The 71-year-old man, from Scotland, was in an "extremely bad condition" with symptoms of "severe pneumonia" when he was transferred to Corfu's General Hospital, it is reported
The 71-year-old man, from Scotland, died on Thursday morning, just hours after he was admitted to Corfu's General Hospital in an "extremely bad condition", it is reported.
Greece is not on the Scottish Government's list of 'safe travel' corridors, meaning people arriving in Scotland from Greece must quarantine for 14 days.
Corfu is among the regions in Greece that are on the UK Government's travel corridor list. Travellers arriving in England do not have to quarantine.

We saw that when we were there in August seemed an odd place for an hotel.

Hionata / Valriano are nice villages but don't think I'd want to book a stay there, too residential, too far out. Maybe a few tavernas will open in the village(s)
:dunno:
