On Thursday, November 5, Greece Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced a second nationwide lockdown citing concern for the spike in Covid-19 cases. Although a nationwide lockdown was seen as a last option, Mitsotakis ultimately decided that a nationwide lockdown was necessary out of fear the healthcare system would be overrun. The lockdown will take effect this Saturday and remain for three weeks. Supermarkets, pharmacies, and elementary schools will remain open, but retail stores and high schools will be closed. Greece is the latest European country to institute a nationwide lockdown following drastic increases in Covid-19 cases.
