Greece’s Health Minister Vassilis Kikilias announced a new package of public health measures on Tuesday for those who have not been vaccinated against the CCP virus.

Health care and care home workers who refuse the COVID-19 vaccine will be suspended from work starting on Sept. 1, Kikilias said, noting that unvaccinated workers would not get a grace period for a previously announced suspension.
