Center for Reception and Solidarity

The municipality of Athens has launched a drive to test the city's homeless population for SARS-CoV-2 and prevent an outbreak.

The streetwork teams of the municipality's Center for Reception and Solidarity (KYADA) carry out daily rapid antigen tests and take the temperature of dozens of people.

The City of Athens is stepping up efforts to help the homeless by increasing access to social workers and upgrading services.

The municipality's Center for Reception and Solidarity (KYADA) has doubled staff shifts on the streets, ensuring the homeless are assisted daily from morning until 10 p.m.
