Further easing in Greece
However, this only affects the outdoor area for the time being.
The staff must present a negative rapid corona test twice a week and always wear a mask.
A
maximum of six people can
sit
at a table
, while standing guests and music are not allowed.
In addition, there must be a distance of at least 1.80 meters between the tables.
The restaurants must
close at 10:45 p.m. at the latest
.
There is still a curfew between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.
Current corona situation and entry rules in Greece
The 7-day incidence in Greece is 158.5 (as of April 30), well above the limit of 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants, which
ensures that the federal government
classifies it as a risk area
.
Nevertheless, there is a positive trend, as the number of cases is steadily declining, according to the Greek health authority, and vaccinations are picking up speed.

Travelers from the EU are already allowed to enter without quarantine if they
come
to Greece
by air
via the airports of Athens, Chania, Heraklion, Corfu, Kos, Mykonos, Rhodes, Santorini or Thessaloniki
.
However, a negative corona test that is not older than 72 hours is required.
In addition, the “Passenger Location Form” must be filled out, from which a QR code is generated that must be presented upon entry.
A full opening to tourism in Greece is planned for May 15th.
From then on, travel within the regional districts of Greece should be possible again without restrictions.
This means that the travel industry will be restarted before the introduction of the EU vaccination pass, which is planned for the end of June.
