Main Points from Prime Minister Mitsotakis’ interview on CNN:
- Greece, thanks to a successful early lock down, now is reopening its economy.
- Greece is dependent on tourism but not more than other southern European countries.
- Greece will be ready for the summer holiday season. We hope the worse is behind us and as of July 1st Greece will be ready to host foreign tourists. However this will be a different summer with social distancing and certain travelling protocols and rules. These new protocols –adopted hopefully at a European level – will regulate tourism. For example, tourists could take an antibody or PCR test before flying out.
- The Prime Minister emphasized the sense of pride and self-confidence that Greeks feel on account of our country’s collective response to the Coronavirus crisis.
