Greece:- Travelling from region to region, the Government’s plan to ease restrictions

Travel outside the prefecture with self test – A decision is made for the SMS to 13033

George Gerapetritis indicated travelling outside the prefecture a self test may be beneficial and estimated that in the coming days a decision will be made in regards to SMS to 13033.

 

 

The government now appears to be rolling out its plan to lift the lockdown restrictive measures in May, after 6 months.

 

The Minister of State, George Gerapetritis, speaking on the radio station “Parapolitika”, announced the opening for movements from May 14 or 15, as long as – as he said – the epidemiological data allow it.

 

He also did not rule out the possibility that a self-test may be necessary for travel from region to region

Regarding the abolition of SMS, he said that it will be evaluated next week.

 

Easing measures.

The easing of measures will continue step by step, with the government having the roadmap for the next day on the table. With the opening of tourism on May 15 and the release of supra-local travel, there will be the abolition of SMS and a change in the traffic ban.

 

It is recalled that from last Monday, May 3, the citizens’ travel hours were extended by one hour and the traffic ban starts at 11 p.m. and ends at 5 a.m.

 

As the Minister of State, George Gerapetritis, noted yesterday, “we cannot go from absolute restriction to absolute freedom” and that we should not “feel that we have not been released”.

 

“What we are doing is going step by step,” he said, adding that the night curfew “will be gradually extended.”

 

According to him, “in the first phase there will be an extension after 11 pm for later”, while he transferred the “total release” for later.

 

The new schedule, in fact, may be announced even today during the regular briefing at the Ministry of Health. If that happens, the curfew will be postponed to 12 midnight, instead of the current 23:00.
