ATHENS—Greece has banned all but essential travel from Serbia, which is battling to control a surge of coronavirus infections.

Serbian visitors will not be allowed to enter Greece from July 6 until July 15, the government said on Sunday, as it moved to contain the spread of coronavirus during its peak tourism season.
