In order to achieve the best possible harmonization, it was decided to abolish the measure for sending a text message for travel purposes. From now on, in order to be more secure during our presence in specific areas where there is a congruence and increased presence of people, along with the use of a mask and the observance of other personal protection measures, it was decided that in consolidation areas (eg shopping malls, restaurants, churches, etc.), one of the following conditions must apply:
- Have been vaccinated with at least one dose over a period of 3 weeks, or
- Have been ill with the disease COVID-19 the last 6 months, or
- If one of the above does not apply, and as a temporary solution until the vaccination coverage goes further, the citizens aged 12 and over are given the option to present a certificate of negative test, PCR or rapid test, valid for 72 hours. For example, if the test took place on Sunday at 10 am it would be valid until Tuesday at midnight.
This measure is temporary and will be applied for a transitional period in order to ensure that our travels and social contacts are made as safe as possible for our health and for Public Health. The goal, at the same time, is to achieve the desired immunity through vaccinations.
More specific information will be provided later in the day.
It is also clarified that the responsibility for the control of possession of evidence business managers do not have it, but the control will be done by the competent Officers of the Police or of the Ministries and Departments depending on the companies in their areas of responsibility.
