There’s a surge right now. In just these last few days, I have learned of 6 people who have it (Thessaloniki & Athens). I’m guessing the government doesn’t want people to panic, because if we do, it will hurt tourism. Even measures will hurt tourism. They say for infected tourists to wear a mask, but it’s not enforced, and how are we to know who has it and who does not?
My prediction is that the cases will go up, but tourism will thrive, and we will all meet again in September.
