Thus, from tomorrow, all those who enter the country by land will be tested for Covid-19, regardless of whether they have been vaccinated or gone through the disease, and those who have a positive result will be quarantined for 10 days if not vaccinated. and 7 if vaccinated.
The rule applies to all those over the age of 12 who come by land, not to those who come by plane.
“There is an element of novelty for citizens who are going to move in Greece – the obligation to test all persons entering Greek territory, regardless of their country of origin, has recently been introduced. That means citizens Romanian who will enter Greece by road will all be tested, regardless of country of origin, and those found positive will be subject to quarantine for a period of ten days, either at home, yes in the case of tourists we are talking about locations established by the Greek authorities.
There is a special category for those who have been immunized with either a double or single dose vaccine and still have a positive test, then the quarantine is no longer 10 days, but seven days, and on the last day quarantine, these individuals will undergo a PCR test.
Vaccines will also be tested. I received the information today from the Romanian embassy in Athens.
Indeed, the digital certificate facilitates free movement, but in the sense of ensuring a secure unitary access to the verification of information regarding vaccination, testing or passing through the disease. Each Member State remains competent to supplement certain elements, we are talking about a rapid test and to adopt certain measures related to public health.
Children are exempt from testing. These measures apply to persons over 12 years of age
I would like to emphasize some recommendations – to try to avoid traveling on weekends, but especially in the first part of Saturday, because then there are gatherings of tourists from all over the region, to complete all documents in time, so as to avoid time additional. Another aspect, the non-completion of the PLF, according to the legislation from Greece leads to non-entry and a fine of 500 euros. The fact that the police allow to complete on the spot is a decision taken punctually by the border police.
So far it has not changed on air access, it is that PLF that must be completed. It is much easier to go to Greece by plane. Tourists who enter Greece by land will be tested, it doesn’t matter that they are vaccinated, tested, that they have gone through the disease, everyone will be tested “, said Oana Darie, spokesperson of the MFA, at Digi24.
