Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Wednesday highlighted “encouraging” recent figures on COVID-19 in Greece.
In an interview with the journalist Ben Hall during “The Global Boardroom”, a digital conference organised by the Financial Times newspaper, Mitsotakis expressed his belief that these results will lead to a significant improvement by the end of the month.
The Greek premier reported a reduction in cases and hospital admissions, which combined with an acceleration of vaccinations, self testing and better weather that permitted activities outdoors, will lead to a “significant improvement”.
He noted that the food and drinks service sector had reopened in outdoor spaces, that retail was operating once more and predicted that things will get much better within the month.

BERLIN, April 21 (Reuters) - Germany’s constitutional court paved the way on Wednesday for the country to sign off legislation ratifying the European Union’s Recovery Fund as it dismissed legal challenges against the debt-financed investment plan.
The decision is essential for launching the bloc’s 750 billion euro ($900 billion) recovery spending to mitigate the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The drawbacks resulting from not approving the provisional measure and the law later turning out to be unconstitutional are smaller than the consequences of approving the measure and the constitutional challenge later turning out to be unfounded,” the court said in a statement.
