Greece's prime minister says it appears absolutely feasible for restaurants and cafes to reopen on June 1 if the coronavirus outbreak keeps slowing.
On Monday, Greece reported two deaths and six confirmed infections, bringing the total death toll to 146, with confirmed infections at 2,632.
Greece began easing its lockdown measures on Monday, with the opening of a limited number of retail businesses, such as beauty salons and bookshops, and people allowed to leave their homes.
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis held a video conference with several cabinet members Tuesday to discuss how to reopen the restaurant and caf sector while maintaining social distancing regulations. One possibility was increasing the outdoor space for tables and chairs.
Greece imposed a lockdown early on in its coronavirus outbreak, a move credited with containing the number of deaths.
