In an interview with Mega TV, speaking of the coronavirus pandemic, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis ruled out another lockdown, ANA reports.
“I’m firm on this, simply because right now three in four people have done the right thing, and it would be unfair to impose restrictions at a great cost, in order to manage a problem related to a minority – no European country follows this tactic,” he noted.
As for criticism from the main opposition that churches are exempted from requiring Covid tests to enter, he pointed out that the government had shut them down in 2020 and Greek Orthodox Easter services were suspended.
In terms of obliging segments of professionals to get vaccinated, Mitsotakis said that as a measure it has reached its end. He was responding to a question on whether he would oblige members of the security forces to get vaccinated. “No other country has expanded obligatory vaccinations because, from a point on, we hit a wall of resistance,” the premier said.
