Instructions

Please use the bullet points below, to share your observations of policy, preferably with reference to formal publication and date. I will transpose those to the table (WikiTables are a headache, and difficult to edit, so I want to make it as easy as possible for everyone). Please use the information fields from the table, as much as possible, so that data can be transposed easily. Since this is a Wiki, each change is logged, and you can always browse through the page history to see the snapshot in time.

Also there was a decision yestarday 16/03/2020 churches to be aooly measures (and all celebrations / rituals as we are going towards the Easter period to be cancelled or performed following basic rules such as every person to have at least 2 meters distance from the other). There was also a law issued recently that says that whoever is advised to stay at home (case or contact) and is caught not to be following the instructions will face legal consequences (up to 2 years of prison)! The same applies for professionals that disobey the rules. Already there are some arrests of people that opened their restaurants and other services to serve clients. Doctors have been advised not to examine patients with fever at their private offices as much as they can.

Take away services, super-markets and pharmacies are open as well as other services that have to do with transportation of goods. An online number is available for employees to call and get information on their rights on sick leave and reimbursement. At supermarkets since they were overcrowded the first days of the measures there was the decision to have a queue and based on the size of the space to let a specific number of persons enter. Inside the supermarkets there are sanitizers available and people should keep A distance of more that 2 meters from each other. super-markets will remain open on the weekends to avoid overcrowding. These are in summary some of the measures on 17/03/2020 that Greece has 353 reported cases and 4 deaths.
