The use of masks indoors will remain mandatory for at least the whole of May, while the epidemiological situation in the country will judge the decisions from June onwards, stressed the Minister of Health, Thanos Plevris, speaking on SKAI TV and the show “Simera”.
“We do not know (when the mask will be removed). The mask may not be removed indoors, because the mask is a gentle measure. “What we are saying is that for May at least there will be a mask and from there and beyond, based on the health image of the country, it will be decided what will happen from June”, he emphasized characteristically.
He explained the government’s plan to relax the measures from May 1st to August 31st, which will be determined by specific protocols after a suggestion by the committee meeting today.
Some measures, Mr. Plevris stressed, will be suspended, such as the demonstration of a vaccination certificate or illness.
Regarding the possibility of a fourth dose of vaccination horizontally to the population from the fall, Mr. Plevris replied that this is a purely scientific issue to which the ECDC will respond.
He explained that the goal is an annual single-dose coronavirus vaccine, however if it is not prepared in time by the companies a booster dose may be needed.
