Greece will restrict the land border entry points into the country to just six, in order to better control the spread of coronavirus in view of the upsurge in cases in neighboring Balkan countries, government spokesperson Stelios Petsas announced on Monday, according to ANA.
He pointed out that, while the only border crossing for tourists was that at Promachonas, where those wishing to cross the border must now produce a certified negative PCR test for Covid-19 taken within the last 72 hours, the other land border crossings had been open for essential travel, for Greek citizens and for those that had residence permits for people coming to work, such as seasonal farmworkers.
Moreover, Greek citizens and those with residence permits or holders of an expatriate ID will also be required to fill in a Passenger Locator Form (PLF).
He also warned that farmworkers who are currently in Greece and leave before August 4, 2020, will not have the right to return until further notice.
