The answer to how Christmas will be spent this year is “in safety,” while citizens must keep their activity and festive meetings to a bare minimum over the holiday season, said government spokesperson Stelios Petsas on ANT1 TV on Saturday, ANA reports.
At Friday’s live briefing on the Covid-19 pandemic, Deputy Minister for Civil Protection & Crisis Management Nikos Hardalias urged Greeks to keep in mind that although families are allowed to gather over Christmas up to a nine-persons maximum, it is preferable not to meet with elderly relatives, “so as to protect them and keep them safe from exposure to the coronavirus.”
Petsas reiterated that the time the curfew starts has been put forward by one hour, from 21:00 to 22:00, effective as of Sunday, when the general retail sector will begin to allow customers to pick up their online orders in person, the so-called ‘click-away’ method. The time the curfew ends, that is at 05:00 in the morning, remains as is, he clarified.
