Supermarket and bakery measures: ΚΥΑ Allows grocery stores to work from 7 am to 10:30 pm, which is valid until Monday 21 June 2021, until 6:00 am. Pharmacies and petrol stations work according to the current schedule, in accordance with special provisions, on an individual basis.
In addition to the schedule, according to the Government Gazette, for every 25 sq.m. in the main area of the store (without ancillary premises, warehouses, offices, parking lots) there can be 1 person (in case of violation, a fine is charged).
