A new beginning comes with the new month, as many things change in our lives from yesterday regarding the measures that have been taken for the coronavirus.
As of yesterday, the display of vaccination and disease recovery certificates for access to enclosed public spaces is abolished.
In particular, vaccinated and unvaccinated people enter freely in restaurants, entertainment and shopping malls. At the same time, from today all areas can operate at 100% of their capacity.
One step towards normalcy.
Citizens must show a strong sense of responsibility, in the phase in which the country is entering from today until August 31st. The removal of all restrictions on the coronavirus pandemic is a first step towards normalcy in the post-coronavirus era.
Both the competent health services of the Ministry of Health, as well as the scientists of the Committee of Experts, emphasize that we should show the utmost care and not be complacent, as the pandemic is not over.
The reckless use of our freedom from today, may lead to a new outbreak of the epidemic, even in the summer, experts say.
The Deputy Minister of Health, Mina Gaga, during the recent information stressed that the reduction of cases lately, proves that “the pandemic has really entered a phase of dropping, which is very important, and we are starting a regularity, of course following all the “Other European countries, we are slowly stopping the measures and starting to live normally,” she said.
