Speaking to Belgian media, the country’s Covid-19 spokesperson clarified that a map showing Greece among the ‘orange’ countries (meaning visitors entering Belgium form Greece would be quarantined) in the tri-color map that appeared on the Foreign Ministry’s site had not been updated, protothema.gr reports.
The list of countries is based on epidemiological characteristics, according to the Belgian newspaper Le Soir, which published a list of “red”, “orange” and “green” countries. Greece and six more countries (Cyprus, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Iceland, Portugal, Spain) appear on the “orange” list, which means that those returning to Belgium are recommended to be tested and quarantined.
“Do not look at the tri-color marking on the ‘holiday’ option of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It also has information related to the old color labeling, which has completely changed,” the Covid-19 spokesperson Yves Van Laethem Milton told media outlet rtbf last night.
The Belgian spokesman for the fight against coronavirus said that “for the next 24 to 36 hours, citizens should not be advised” of this list or which will be renewed.
Based on diplomatic sources, regarding the fact that Greece is included in the “orange” list, yesterday there was a communication between the Greek authorities and the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while today the two sides are expected to come into contact again.
