Greece Further Relaxes Covid-19 Restrictions

Greece’s recent Joint Ministerial Decision will relax its previously-implemented measures regarding the curbing of the Covid-19 pandemic, including restrictions for shopping malls, restaurants and cafes.

Customers are now no longer required to wear masks while shopping at a store; however, all store employees are still expected to wear face coverings. Despite this, limits on maximum occupancy in each establishment, as well as social distancing protocols, are still being maintained in all stores in Greece.

The Ministerial Decision also abolishes a previously-implemented rule for restaurants and dining venues, with the six-person limit per table now being lifted.

Regarding public transportation, both customers and staff are still required to wear masks, including in waiting areas.

Travel updates: 'Stay away', Europeans tell British tourists

Europeans do not want British tourists to visit the Continent this summer, according to a new survey.

Spaniards are most opposed to the arrival of UK holidaymakers, with nearly two thirds (61 per cent), keen on Britons to stay away this year, 15 percentage points more than any other European nationality. A majority of French, German and Italian residents also want British travellers to stay home, according to polling by YouGov.

In France, Spain, Germany and Italy, only residents from the US and China are less welcome, the research showed.

The British are also opposed to the arrivals of foreign holidaymakers, with 76 per cent keen to keep Americans from UK shores; 53 per cent do not want Chinese tourists this summer, only just ahead of Swedish arrivals (51 per cent) and Italian (48 per cent).
