When does a € 300 fine still apply?

From today, 05/14, free movement resumes in Greece, however, with the full implementation of security and protection measures against the coronavirus.

a) minor children, whose stay at home under adult supervision is impossible;
b) a person who needs the assistance of a second passenger for transportation.

Up to three people are allowed, all must use a mask. The excess of the number of passengers is possible only if the vehicle, together with adults, are minors, who cannot be left at home.

The fine for not using the mask is 300 euros for everyone in the vehicle, if the passengers do not have type A and B family ties.
