A decision by Greek authorities to re-open the
retail sector has been pushed back several times due to spikes in the number of Covid-19 cases over the past weeks with the national committee of health experts set to
convene on Wednesday to discuss the possibility of easing containment measures.
Greek Development & Investments Minister Adonis Georgiadis on Tuesday said the pressure on the health care system, the ongoing street rallies, the British strain of the virus are all hurdles to re-opening trade safely.
Georgiadis said the ministry was however seeking ways to get the market going, particularly in view of the fact that people were now suffering from Covid-19 fatigue due to the ongoing lockdown regulations.
