Masks are no longer mandatory but there are exeptions

For the first time in almost two years, face masks against Covid-19 are no longer mandatory, barring certain exceptions, in Greece.

From 1st of June until at least September 15, citizens will be able to enter all indoor areas without a mask, without the risk of being fined. 

Exceptions are healthcare facilities and nursing homes, as well as urban public transport (metro, electric railway, buses, trolleybuses and trams).

On intercity public transport, where the seats of the passengers are numbered, the use of a mask is no longer required, while the same applies to planes.

Pupils and students are now able to attend classes without a mask. 

The recommendation of experts regarding what will apply on ships regarding mask use is still pending. It remains mandatory at the moment. The issue may be discussed on Wednesday (today) by the scientific committee advising the government on the pandemic.
