Greeks must stick to rules aimed at containing the coronavirus more closely than ever, the country’s prime minister said on Wednesday, warning of new restrictions if a worrying rise in daily cases does not abate.
Greece reported 124 new cases on Wednesday, part of a surge of what appears to be mainly domestic infections, according to Reuters.
“Any form of complacency is unjustified,” Kyriakos Mitsotakis said. “We still don’t know how ... many months we will be forced to live with the virus.”
In spring, Greece fared better than other countries in controlling the spread of COVID 19 mainly due to targeted lockdowns followed by nationwide curbs imposed during March.
