ATHENS (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 23rd June, 2021) Greece is set to cancel the mandatory wearing of masks outdoors and lift the curfew, deputy civil protection minister Nikos Hardalias said on Wednesday.
"This decision was unanimously made by the committee of epidemiologists in connection with the improvement of the epidemiological situation in the country. Based on the recommendation, the government decided that the wearing of masks indoors remains obligatory without exceptions, while the movement on the street without a mask [is allowed] if there is no congestion of people.
