Greece to Impose Restrictions on the Unvaccinated

by Luke Perry
19 November 2021 12:30 PM

The Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has announced that, from Monday, the unvaccinated (even if they have recently tested negative for Covid) will be prohibited from entering indoor spaces such as restaurants, cinemas, and gyms. In addition, Mitsotakis declared that the country is suffering from “a pandemic of the unvaccinated”, with the elderly encouraged to receive booster jabs as their vaccination certificates are set to expire after seven months. Aljazerra has the story.

Greece has become the latest country in the European Union to impose more restrictions on those unvaccinated against Covid following a surge in infections in recent weeks.

In a televised address to the nation, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said that, from Monday, unvaccinated people will be largely barred from indoor spaces, including restaurants, cinemas, museums and gyms, even if they test negative for Covid.

Greece has so far fully vaccinated about 62% of its population of some 11 million people. Authorities had hoped for a rate of about 70% before the European winter sets in at the end of the year.

“This is indeed a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” Mitsotakis said. “Greece is mourning unnecessary losses because it simply does not have the vaccination rates of other European countries.”

Under the new rules in Greece, vaccination certificates of those over 60 years-old will be valid for seven months after being issued, in an effort to encourage them to get a third, “booster” shot.

Worshippers attending church will be allowed to enter with a negative test, Mitsotakis said.

In a subsequent statement, Alexis Tsipras, leader of the main opposition Syriza party, accused Mitsotakis of “being responsible” for the “unprecedented tragedy” that has seen Greece’s Covid-related death toll surpass 17,000.

The country reported 7,317 new infections and 63 deaths on Thursday. This brought total infections since the start of the pandemic to 861,117 and the total number of fatalities to 17,075.

Earlier in November, the Government had imposed some restrictions on unvaccinated citizens but had allowed them access to most services, provided they tested negative.

Austria, Germany, Slovakia and the Czech Republic all limited public life for the unvaccinated this week as infections rise across Europe.

The Greek prime minister said he would propose making this an E.U.-wide standard to the European Commission.
