PM Mitsotakis to announce new measures to contain Covid-19

Addressing a virtual meeting of the cabinet on Thursday, he said that additional measures to contain the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic in Greece will be announced on Friday.

"We must again take stricter measures more promptly than the other European countries, as we did during the first wave of the virus, in order to avoid the worst and save human lives while reducing the pressure on the health system. Tomorrow I will announce a new one-month plan of action," the prime minister said, adding that the government's goal remains that of averting a full lockdown.
