Greece:- what measures will be applied for Cafeterias, restuarants and bars…. Vaccination certificate and ID/Passport needed

New measures: These are the three measures for catering – Coffee with a certificate and ID

The new catering regulations have been announced along with the mandatory vaccination measure – Open and closed areas will be available only to those sitting and mainly only to those who have been vaccinated.
The three new brands that should be placed by all restaurants and entertainment areas and which concern indoor spaces, were presented.

Owners across the country should have the following signs at the entrance as part of the new measures, from 16 July:

 

“Covid Free Zone” – All those entering the site have either a vaccination certificate or a disease recovery certificate. (look for the sign above)

These stores will be able to operate at 85% of their capacity. Customers should only be seated, distance rules will be observed and there will be severe penalties in cases of violation of the measures.

“Fully vaccinated staff “- The mark will be affixed to stores where all staff have been confirmed to have been vaccinated. (look for the sign above)

 

Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Mixed space “– Vaccinated or disease recovery certificate or Covid negative test (72 hours for PCR / molecular or 48 hours for rapid test) Look for the sign below for mixed space areas.

Only sitting customers will be allowed within businesses, while in the configuration of the space, the signage will provide separate parts of the business where the customers will be able to sit, who will have been vaccinated or will have recovered or will have had the prescribed tests recommended.

Customers will be able to display certificates in print or digital form via smartphone.

Unvaccinated in the open air spaces will be able to use the interior of the same store as the toilets, using a mask.

The identity card will be checked outside the certificate with an ID, with the details defined by the KYA that will be issued.
