“We are on a path that gradually leads to the resumption of social and economic activity,” government spokesperson Stelios Petsas said on Monday during the regular government press briefing, referring to the reopening of the next wave of businesses, retail outlets, and services but “always with specific rules of operation regarding the number of individuals in each area and the distances that need to be observed,” ANA reports.
He underlined that “as of today, May 11, about a third of the workers and businesses that were suspended have returned to their work and school pupils in their final year have returned to schools. University entrance exams will start on June 15. The thoughts of all of us are with those children who are waging this battle in unprecedented conditions.”
Nevertheless, he also mentioned that travel to and from the islands will be permitted from Monday for the owners or staff of island businesses that have been allowed to resume operation, provided those travelling present supporting documents from their employer or a signed statement, in the case of the self-employed.
