Restaurants and bars will reopen after the Easter holidays, initially only serving customers outdoors, Alternate Development Minister Nikos Papathanassis said in an interview with MEGA TV on Tuesday. “The hospitality businesses will be allowed to reopen in outdoor and semi-open areas when the time is right. It appears that this will happen after the Easter holidays,” he said.
Note that Greek Orthodox Easter this year is on May 2.
In parallel, he said that tourism linked to the food and drink services industry will reopen, irrespective of when the food and drinks service sector is allowed to open in its own right.
He did not rule out the possibility of the retail market closing again, noting that protection of public health was paramount, state-run news agency amna reported.
Finally. Any news about opening bars at night? It is a bit difficult to organise party in a small flat. Tourist places are very boring without tavernas and bars.
You fool! Heard about the pandemia, maybe?? If the only thing you think of is party, then get a life! There are other things than parties in life, for instance, SURVIVE! To be able to party when it is safer….
Well said, Mika. No wonder figures continue to rise with attitudes like Wels’. In normal times, I would be out socialising 7 days per week but, since the 3rd November, that has had to be put aside. OK, it is not easy but it is necessary to help with limiting the spread of C-19. Wake up, Mika! This is no joke scenario.
IMHO: Wels is just trying to troll you people, but if he genuinely wishes to get naturally immunized, why not?
agree! SURVIVE? life (= lockdown) together, die alone… is the philosophy of the government! what a about the government doesn’t care about our health. what is with cancer and heart diseases… what about safe and good food without preservatives and hundreds of E123, E999, a.s.o. ? stop eating to much shit! stop smoking! build new roads for safe streets! get a helmet on your motorbike! etc. Give us our Life back! they destroy everything.
