Influenza A virus subtype H1N1

China's commercial hub of Shanghai announced the restart of classes for younger students amid falling virus cases, while New Orleans's famed restaurants were allowed to reopen with a limited number of diners.

Noise, confusion and conflict had shaped our reality before the coronavirus pandemic struck. We inhaled and exhaled fanaticism while the public debate was dedicated entirely to proving who was "bad" and who was to blame.

Greek Health Ministry representative Sotiris Tsiodras on Friday announced 40 new cases or coronavirus infections in the country which raise the total number to 2,810.

The number includes 35 new infections from a Roma camp in central Greece.

He said the death toll from Covid-19 rose to 160, with four more fatalities recorded in the past 24 hours.

Greeks are more frightened of becoming unemployed or impoverished than they are of contracting Covid-19, a new survey published by the University of the Aegean has found.

Fresh coronavirus outbreaks are testing public health networks and the resolve of planners to reopen from pandemic shutdowns.

Greece says travellers should be tested for coronavirus or for antibodies in the country of origin at most 72 hours before setting off on their holiday to avoid overcrowding in entry points, as part of its proposal to restart the battered tourism sector in the European Union.

COVID-19 has directly claimed tens of thousands of U.S. lives, but conditions stemming from the novel coronavirus — rampant unemployment, isolation and an uncertain future — could lead to 75,000 deaths from drug or alcohol abuse and suicide, new research suggests.

The global tally for novel coronavirus infections surpassed 4 million early on May 10, according to a running tally by U.S.-based Johns Hopkins University.

Data showed fatalities worldwide reached 277,860, while the number of patients who recovered stands at 1,348,383.

In a message marking Europe Day and the 70th anniversary since the Schuman Declaration, which ultimately led to the founding of the European Union, Greek President Katerina Sakellaropoulou on Saturday emphasized the need for "real and not just rhetorical" solidarity among EU member-states, in the face of the pandemic and the economic crisis that it brings.

The coronavirus pandemic is proving to be a disaster for small and medium-sized enterprises across Europe, particularly for those in the south and east of the bloc and their non-EU neighbours.

Most EU countries have taken some form of measure to protect businesses from the effects of the coronavirus crisis.
