Forged travel docs abound in western Greece

The arrests of foreign nationals at regional airports in western Greece and on the Ionian islands with forged or stolen travel documents have increased drastically since Greece opened its borders 35 days ago at the end of the lockdown.

More specifically, until Wednesday about 260 people had been arrested at the airports of Cephalonia, Zakynthos, Kalamata, Aktio, Corfu and Araxos.

Police said a forged document could fetch as much as 3,000 euros.

A Katelios hotel owner and a member of staff were arrested yesterday after a Brit tourist complained to police that health measures designed to prevent the spread of coronavirus were not being observed, e.g. staff were not wearing face coverings. A check by police revealed that the member of staff did not have the required papers, they and the owner were subsequently taken for processing.

Coronavirus: Lockdown to ease further in England from Saturday

More beauty treatments, small wedding receptions and live indoor performances will be able to resume in England from Saturday, as lockdown rules are eased.

Bowling alleys, casinos and soft play centres will also be able to reopen, PM Boris Johnson has announced.

It comes as the government introduces tough new measures targeting breaches of social distancing restrictions.

Fines for refusing to wear a mask could reach a maximum of £3,200 and illegal rave organisers face a £10,000 penalty.
