Infectious Diseases Expert Warns Greece Is "playing With Fire"

“The virus is here, waiting for us to slip up,” Professor Nikos Sipsas, an expert in infectious diseases, told Skai TV.

Arrivals through Greece’s northern land borders from countries with a high rate of coronavirus infections and large gatherings at village fetes and bars, are threatening to derail the country’s remarkable progress in containing Covid-19, he warned.

The Taverna: Much Anticipated Greek Aussie Dark Comedy Hits Cinemas

Award-winning writer/director, Alkinos Tsilimidos serves up life, love, food and cultural differences in his brand new dark comedy The Taverna, premiering today in cinemas across Australia.

In his latest film, The Taverna, Kostas (Vangelis Mourikis) runs a popular suburban Greek taverna. When belly dancer Jamila (Rachel Kamath) refuses to dance after spotting her ex at a table with his older lover Rebecca (Tottie Goldsmith), waitress Sally (Emily O’Brien-Brown) decides to step into the breach.

Throw into the mix sleazy groping customers, an impromptu kidnapping, rampaging possums, and Kostas’s drug-addict son having an accident, and you have a recipe for an absolutely chaotic night.

That was denied by a Government Minister on BBC1's Breakfast programme.

Greece: Hundreds of animals to perish at old airport site
Athens to launch huge investment plan at former Elliniko Airport

The Greek government has given a green light last month for the demolition of five structures on the former Elliniko Airport, an investment that would redevelop the area into a complex of luxury residences, hotels, and casino, offering plenty of job openings, but also causing an ecological destruction.

The old airport has been abandoned since 2001 when a new larger airport was built in Spata.

Since then, hundreds of animals have found shelter inside the premises of the old buildings.

There are approximately more than 40 cats and several kittens, as well as a significant amount of wildlife animals, including turtles, foxes, hedgehogs, and bird nests.

Infected travelers a concern

Greek health authorities on Tuesday remained concerned that the coronavirus is entering the country via travelers after 17 of the 27 new confirmed cases were imported.

More specifically, 14 were identified during the checks carried out at the country’s points of entry, and three concerned people who had come from abroad and voluntarily sought to be tested for the virus.
