Greek government spokesperson Yiannis Economou, in an interview with MEGA TV on Tuesday, referred to the government’s “balanced strategy against the pandemic” and said the goal was for the market to remain open during the Christmas holidays, ANA reports.
Economou also referred to the Omicron variant that is forcing all the governments in Europe to adapt their strategy to match the pandemic. “We had exhausted all the means of persuasion and facilitation at our disposal for increasing vaccination coverage. We saw that the specific group (60 and over) showed the least response. Since the day that obligatory vaccination was announced, tens of thousands of our fellow citizens over 60 – they have exceeded 65,000 – have rushed to book an appointment for a first dose and this is very positive,” he noted.
