Greece not to require Czechs to produce negative Covid tests

The Athens government is to remove the Czech Republic from a list of states whose citizens can only enter Greece with a negative Covid-19 test. The news was announced by Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, who said he had secured the concession after speaking to his Greek counterpart, Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

Mr. Babiš said the decision had been reached after the Czech Republic had provided new information to Greece on the coronavirus situation in the country. The negative test requirement had been due to enter force on Monday.
