Amber and what it means ?

<< < (3/9) > >>

spikeyb:
With about 80 cases in the last 3 days in corfu its not surprising Greece and all the islands are on the amber list

Jimbo:
That's right. There appears to have been a significant rise in cases in Corfu over the last ten days. That's roughly in line with the national average of 121:100,000.

Lesley:
Re testing - I did read a post (via another media platform) saying that this is possible at the chemist in Arillas but I am not 100% sure, so if I hear anything further will post.  It would appear that if the Greek government is saying from May 15th both Domestic and International travel is permitted they will have a system in place? 

Jimbo:
Enimerosi reports thus:


--- Quote ---As a consequence of Greece not being included in the green list announced by the UK Government, Corfu hotels are delaying opening.

According to Corfu Hoteliers' Association President Babis Voulgaris, the number of bookings was, in any case, low. They are expected to increase when the country is included in the list without restrictions. This, however, won't happen for at least another three weeks, when the next announcement is made and if epidemiological conditions allow it.

For this reason, hoteliers consider the present period to be critical and following the announcement from the UK the Association took the initiative of organising a campaign to encourage locals to have the vaccination so that the situation on the island can improve. They are waiting to see what the response will be to the initiative from other tourist professionals.

Given the current infection rates in Greece I can't see any chance of a green light much before July, unfortunately.

Reading Jim's post, I guess it's because Corfu are delaying opening hotels..
