Meanwhile, new rules were introduced in Greece as of 06:00 on Saturday to fight a spike in coronavirus infections, focusing on restricting unvaccinated people from entry into retail stores, banks, hair salons and outdoor cafes/restaurants without tests, and doubling the requirement for weekly tests at work.
The law was published on Friday night in the Government Gazette, making the regulations effective through Monday, November 22 (06:00).
Customers must present a full-vaccination certificate, or a certificate of having contracted Covid within the last six months, or negative rapid or PCR test results in order to enter stores including malls, hair and beauty salons and wellness businesses, outdoor areas of eateries, luna parks, zoos, and entertainment areas. The exceptions include pharmacies, churches, and supermarkets. In addition, young people aged 4 to 17 may provide negative self-tests as alternatives to the four certifications above.
People without tests may order through the click-away method of ordering by phone or online and physically picking up goods outside the store.
