  • Greece said Thursday it will extend a coronavirus lockdown by a week to December 14, citing persistently high infection rates. "The epidemiological burden remains high," government spokesman Stelios Petsas told reporters as he announced the extension. An exception will be made for stores selling Christmas decorations, which can open from December 7, he said. After weathering the first wave of the pandemic with relatively low fatalities compared to other European countries, Greece has been hit with scores of deaths daily in recent months. More than 2,600 people have died of the virus, including nearly 90 on Wednesday, and over 600 people are in intensive care. Nearly 2,200 new infections were announced Wednesday. "Many hospitals in northern Grece are still under serious pressure," Petsas said. He added that the first vaccines are expected in Greece by early January and that the country will be able to inoculate more than 2.1 million people per month. The government has said that vaccination will be on a voluntary basis. Imposed on November 7 for three weeks, the lockdown had already been extended by a week to December 7. Petsas on Thursday also dismissed media reports alleging that daily government coronavirus tallies have been distorted because of shoddy bookkeeping at the state health organisation. He called the claims "conspiracy theories" that have been denied by the state committee of health experts monitoring the virus. A magistrate has ordered a preliminary investigation into the media reports. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis also faced criticism this week over a mountain bike trip on the outskirts of Athens last weekend, at a time when other Greeks are only allowed to exercise outdoors near their homes. jph/tgb
