Greek travel restrictions extended

Restrictions on domestic and international travel were extended on Monday in Greece, as the country struggles to contain the second wave of the novel coronavirus pandemic.

In an announcement, the Civil Aviation Authority said that restrictions on domestic flights are being extended through December 7, allowing only essential travel for health, family or work-related reasons between the country’s airports. People returning to their main area of residence are also permitted to travel.

Restrictions on international travel, however, were extended until December 14.
