Epirus

Landslides were recorded in many parts of the mountainous road network in the prefecture of Epirus, western Greece, on Saturday morning, due to the heavy rains that hit the area overnight.

A revised map issued on Thursday by European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) shows the large island of Crete, i.e. all four of its prefectures, in the "dark red zone" in terms of the number of the 14-day Covid-19 notifications per 100,000 population and positivity.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis took his "pro-vax" message on this road to the provinces on Friday, arriving in the northwest lake-side city of Ioannina, where he visited a new vaccination center in the city - largest in the Epirus province - but also a R&D hub opened by international software maker TeamViewer.
