Schools of all levels will reopen on January 11, at the end of the week-long stricter lockdown imposed as of Jan. 3, government spokesman Stelios Petsas clarified in statements on Sunday, ANA reports.
Speaking to Skai TV, he said the lockdown is “a preventative measure”, in order to “decrease the viral load and ensure the safe reopening of schools on that date.
Petsas said “this move helps the health committee members as well because it is truly difficult to know on January 4 what will happen on the 11th,” in terms of planning. “Knowing however that we introduced measures today (Sunday) that are much stricter and which relate to an appeal to the public to observe them, they [the specialists] know the situation on January 11 will be good or even better than it is today,” he clarified.
