Greek health care without reinforced injections will be checked twice a week Passenger traffic at Athens airport has dropped significantly

According to the Greek "Sino-Greek Times" reported on February 10, local time, the Greek Ministry of Health announced that about 10,000 health professionals working in the national health system who have not received the third dose of the new crown vaccine booster are required to undergo rapid testing twice a week.

Like other private and public sector employees, these health workers will bear the cost of testing twice a week. In addition, health workers who have never been vaccinated against any COVID-19 will be suspended outright.

Passenger traffic data at Athens International Airport in January was also reported to show that the Opmi-Kerong variant virus is still affecting air travel.

It is reported that the passenger traffic of Athens International Airport in January was 772,000 passengers, a significant decline compared with the previous seven months. Looking back at January 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic had not yet begun to affect Europe, Athens International Airport set a record of 1.47 million passengers in a single month, double the number from the same period this year.

However, passenger traffic is currently recovering slowly and steadily. According to ESA's latest report on airport traffic developments in Europe, in the next six weeks, i.e. between now and around March 20, 2022, the average number of flights at the three major airports in Greece will gradually increase, and during the peak summer period, passenger traffic at Greek airports is expected to return to the size of 2019. The premise is that there will be no new deterioration of the epidemic.
