Meanwhile, authorities presented a new online health safety map assigning different levels of risk in different parts of the country, with areas coloured green, yellow, orange or red according to the level of transmission of the virus. Green showing the safest and orange or red the most affected areas. Apart from showing the spread of the disease in the country, it also shows a list of the restrictions that must be applied in each region.
Presenting the map, the Deputy Civil Protection Minister, Nikos Hardalias, said that it had been designed to serve as a useful tool for patients, doctors and the public in general.
