As the Greek islands are preparing to host their first tourists as the county opens up to foreign travel beginning on June 15th, all hospitals, healthcare centres, as well as floating medical units, will be opening on a 24-hour basis.
Extensive sample testing for COVID 19 will take place, collecting data for epidemiological research and tracking information. Authorities say that they have established a radical plan for early identification and treatment of possible coronavirus cases. Greece has augmented precautionary measures by increasing its health facilities and allowing for further additions depending on tourist numbers and the expansion of the disease. Also, the capacity for emergency medical transport by air and sea is growing and coronavirus screening will be intensified.
