Due to the cancellation of Covid-Pass, off-season sales begin in Greece from May 3

Merchants, encouraged by the fact that free entry to stores has been introduced and customers no longer need to present Covid-Pass, (vaccination or recovery certificate, negative rapid test), launched an off-season sale.

The Greek authorities last Thursday adopted decision recommend suspension of Covid-Pass and Covid European Digital Certificate (EUDCC) from May 1, 2022.

The mid-season sale will last until May 15, 2022, with retail stores still open on Sunday May 8 when they have the opportunity to operate from 11:00 to 18:00.

Commercial stores reopened today after the May holidays and cancellation of the Covid-Pass measure from May 1. Please note that the use of masks in stores is still mandatory. However, it remains mandatory indoors until the end of the month, and this measure may be lifted, depending on the course of the pandemic in the country.

The suspension affects vaccinated and unvaccinated citizens of the country, as well as tourists arriving in Greece.

Decisions were made on:

• Suspension of the validity of the Covid-Pass (vaccination or recovery certificate) from May 1 and the return of the filling of event venues to 100%.
• Suspension of the European digital certificate Covid EUDCC at the entrances to the country.
• 1 rapid test per week (instead of two until now) for unvaccinated workers, except in hospitals and nursing homes where rapid tests remain 2x per week for unvaccinated workers.
• 1 rapid test (instead of two so far) for unvaccinated teachers.
