Workers at public hospitals in Greece held a five-hour work stoppage to protest a government decision making vaccination against Covid-19 mandatory for all healthcare workers in the public and private sector, AP reported.
About 300 hospital workers rallied outside the health ministry in Athens to protest the measure, which goes into effect on Sept 1. The government has made clear that no extension will be granted.
The public hospital workers’ union said that while it supports the vaccines, it opposes making them mandatory.
