The Greek government on Monday announced another one-week extension of measures imposing a partial nationwide lockdown in the country due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with the latest decision expiring on Dec. 14.
Nevertheless, schools will not reopen before Christmas/New Year, with the date set at Jan. 7, when they would open as planned after the holidays.
A government spokesman added that the food-and-beverage sector will also open on Jan. 7, at the earliest, along with other forms of entertainment, the courts, lower sports leagues and ski resorts.
A 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew for non-essential outdoors movement will also extend to Dec. 14.
The extension of the partial lockdown also bans worshippers from religious services and caps the number of people in public assemblies.
