A ban on entry to Greece of non-EU nationals will remain in effect until June 15 – when flights from specific destinations abroad will be allowed – while the obligation to keep quarantine for visitors to Greece will be extended to the end of June, the Civil Aviation Authority (CYA) said on Monday, according to ANA.
In a notam, CYA clarified that all nationalities arriving in Greece from June 1 to midnight June 14 will be obliged to submit to coronavirus testing and stay at a designated hotel. If their test results (the next day) are negative, they will be obliged to spend 7 days in quarantine; if positive, 14 days quarantine. This also includes Greek citizens arriving from abroad.
From June 15 to June 30, only passengers arriving from high-infection countries will be subjected to testing and the above quarantine durations. The “hot” countries are designated by the EU Aviation Safety Agency, and the list is updated frequently, and passengers must be warned in advance that refusal to take the test will mean they will not be allowed to leave the airport. Testing for this part of the month will be by random sampling, as a specific number of passengers per flight must submit to the test.
