Greece will impose a two-week lockdown in regions of Thessaloniki and Serres in the north to contain a resurgence in Covid-19 cases, government spokesman Stelios Petsas said.
The country has reported fewer cases of the novel coronavirus than most in Europe, but it has seen a significant increase in infections since early October, according to Reuters.
The latest measures include the suspension of flights to and from Thessaloniki over the two-week period, which will come into effect on Tuesday along with the expansion of a nighttime curfew on movement and the closure of restaurants and bars in the most populous areas of the country for one month.
