Hundreds of Greek health care workers are protesting in central Athens against mandatory coronavirus vaccines for their profession, reports AP.

The government imposed more restrictions on unvaccinated Greeks on Tuesday amid a spike in infections, hospitalisations and deaths.

About 300 demonstrators shouted slogans and held up banners outside the parliament building, protesting regulations that call for unvaccinated health care workers to be suspended from their jobs.

Health care unions have said they do not oppose the vaccines but object to them being required.
