Hair salons will be among the small businesses to reopen in May and June in Greece as the government relaxes its coronavirus lockdown, the government spokesman said.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will announce the plan on Tuesday, Stelios Petsas told reporters, adding that restrictions will be lifted incrementally so that the effects on public health can be evaluated.

Small businesses such as hair salons will be the first to open under strict crowd conditions, while larger enterprises, restaurants and churches will follow, he said.
