Greece suspended flights from Britain and Turkey to curb the spread of coronavirus, as a lockdown took effect in the country, Reuters reported.
The ban came into effect at 0400 GMT — 6am in Athens — on March 23 and ends at 1300 GMT on April 15. It was a temporary and preemptive measure, a ministerial decree said, as part of further efforts to combat the coronavirus pandemic.
Greece saw its largest single-day jump in confirmed coronavirus cases on Sunday, a rise of 94 infections which brought the total to 624, with fatalities increasing to 15.
