Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced a full horizontal lockdown throughout Greece for three weeks on Thursday, in a press conference given with the government’s epidemiology expert Prof. Sotiris Tsiodras. He said the measures will go into effect from 6:00 on Saturday morning until November 30, ANA reports.
The prime minister said he chose to change the familiar format of his address to the nation and include Tsiodras in order to emphasize that the government is acting on the advice of experts, on the basis of science.
“I want to show that the decisions are guided by the epidemiological data…the scientific data should not be an object of controversy. The final decisions are taken by the government and myself personally but the scientific data is not negotiable. We have decided that from Saturday morning at 6:00 we will once again enter a horizontal regime of suspension of activities until November 30,” the prime minister said.
