A fifth Kefalonian coronavirus death: a sixty five year old man from Poros has passed away in University Hospital of Ioannina.

Sole sailor on the Panacea of Southampton sailing yacht had to be rescued off the west coast of Kef last night after the boat started taking on water resulting in its sinking. Sailor taken to Argostoli hospital for a check up.

New form for passengers travelling on Greek ferries, so far I've only seen it in Greek, may be available in English as well 

Passengers should either have a vaccination certificate dated at least fourteen days prior to boarding, a negative molecular test up to seventy two hours before scheduled travel time, a rapid test or self test within the last 24 hours prior to travel.

Apparently Kefalonia is one of the five Greek islands with the lowest vaccination take up rate. One of the others is Zakynthos, which the UK government has (all but) cleared for travel to.
