Greek Health Minister: What interests us most is public safety

We can’t keep the citizens forever at home nor confine tourists to their hotel rooms, stated Health Minister Vassilis Kikilias on Thursday, speaking to Star TV, ANA reports.

“It is obvious that we want to return to partial normality,” he said, noting the government’s desire to support tourism and the economy but with respect for medical protocols and the health criteria set by the scientists, in the same way, that Greece has operated up until now that, based on the results, is considered successful.

Referring to the issue of Serbia, Kikilias said that “as soon as we saw an increase in cases we immediately closed our borders and our scientists will decide when it is safe to reopen our borders with our friend and neighbor Serbia. There is a local and partial increase in the number of incidents in the Balkans and in other countries… as I said before, everything is re-evaluated daily and weekly”.
