Greek police on Saturday intensified checks for compliance with pandemic travelling restrictions, at the tolls along the Athens-Corinth and Athens-Lamia national highways, and also at long-distance bus (KTEL) terminals, police sources told Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA-MPA).
The goal is to prevent movement from region to region in the run up to Orthodox Holy Week and Easter Weekend, which poses a risk of spreading the coronavirus to regional and rural communities.
Police will also have a strong presence on the side roads of highways, in order to intercept those trying to leave the capital to spend the Easter holidays in their villages. Those who do not have the necessary documents allowing travel will have to return.
