Stricter pandemic-related lockdown in region west of Athens proper

A stricter lockdown was ordered for western Attica prefecture – the area west of Athens proper – as of Friday morning, after Greek public health officials detected a higher epidemiological concentration of the Covid-19 virus in the specific region.
For instance, a curfew on non-essential movement outdoors will be in effect from 6 p.m. to 5 a. m., while practically all retail stores are ordered shut, along with churches and other places of worship.

Only funeral services will be allowed in local churches, and then, only with a limited number of mourners.

Additionally, mass rapid tests have been ordered in the area, in tandem with an exhaustive tracking of positive cases.

West Attica includes the municipalities of Elefsina, Aspropyrgos and Mandra, areas that host the biggest industrial, logistics and manufacturing hubs in Greece.
