Details were issued by Civil Protection Deputy Minister for Crisis Management Nikos Hardalias on the new movement ban announced by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis this afternoon, ANA reports.
An ongoing press conference which began at 19:00 has several ministers providing details on the ban, which begins at 06:00 on Monday (March 23) to 06:00 on April 6.
Exempted from the rules are people going to and from work; going to buy food or medicine; visiting a doctor or a person who needs care, and those who either exercise solo or in pairs; or are taking their pet out for a walk. Also exempted will be state officials, security and medical personnel, and staff from civil protection, health services, security forces, and the armed forces.
In addition, cars cannot contain more than one passenger. The country will continue to function, but transport schedules are reduced, Hardalias said.
Whoever circulates must carry with them a police ID or a passport at all times. They must also verify their purpose of movement through employer papers verifying they have to go to work or by filling out a personal-cognizance document that they can download from the web at http://forma.gov.gr/ or through an SMS at 13033, or fill out by hand.
