Greece had advance knowledge of the fabricated Turkish propaganda that would be directed against it and had stopped the neighboring country’s attempt to blackmail Greece and Europe in February, by defending the Greek and European border, government spokesperson Stelios Petsas noted in statements to ANT1 TV on Saturday, according to ANA.
Concerning restaurants and the catering sector, Petsas said the current date for their reopening was June 1, with the government monitoring the progression of the pandemic with respect to “complex issues, such as opening schools and restoring economic activity in the retail trade sector from Monday.”
Other milestones will be allowing transit from one regional unit to another, or permitting travel to the islands, as well as working out details on how restaurants will operate, such as ventilation and others.
Regarding tourism, Petsas said Greece’s good performance in managing the pandemic was a plus and predicted that the season will be smaller but not lost, with the government now awaiting for the European Commission to present its proposals in mid-May on air travel.
