More than 200 archaeological sites are reopening on May 18 according the the Ministry of Culture.

Archeological sites are the first category of cultural sites to return to normal operation, followed by summer cinemas on June 1, museums on June 15 and art events on July 15, as Culture Minister Lina Mendoni has announced.

For the time being it appears that the coronavirus public health crisis in this country is under control but there are always dangers lurking as we saw most recently with the confirmation of 150 asymptomatic cases at a hotel housing migrants in the town of Kranidi in the Peloponnese.

Presenting a new batch of economic measures to limit the impact of the coronavirus outbreak on businesses and tax payers, Finance Minister Christos Staikouras on Friday said employees in the wider national healthcare system who are in the frontline of the fight against the epidemic will be paid the Easter bonus - a benefit abolished in the public sector during the economic crisis.
