Greek Civil Protection Deputy Minister, Nikos Hardalias, announced on Tuesday that the government is preparing to introduce a platform to provide citizens with the latest coronavirus (Covid-19) restrictions by municipality and by regional unit.
“A key weapon in the fight against the virus is valid information, therefore, a special platform is being created on the covid19.gov.gr website so citizens will be able to be informed at any time about the measures in force in their area,” mr Hardalias said during a briefing to the media.
According to the deputy minister, the platform will include a map of Greece focused on two levels, per municipality and per regional unit. Citizens will be able to see the degree of risk that applies for a specific area through a color-coded traffic light system: Green, Yellow, Orange and Red.
“Each municipality and regional unit will be colored depending on the degree of risk in green, yellow, orange and red,” Hardalias said.
Areas can be located through the platform by postal code.
The platform is expected to launch on Friday, 25/9 and will include a table which will list and provide information on the measures that are in force in accordance to the color categories.
