As if life wasn't difficult enough....
Travellers arriving in Greece must complete an online form, a Passenger Locator Form, or PLF before arriving in Greece, initially you could do this 49 hours before arriving, but this has been reduced to 24 hours, a QR code will be emailed to the traveller and the QR code must be presented at the port of arrival. Random testing of arrivals will be carried out at the airport, and the tested passenger must then proceed to their final location and stay there in self isolation until they receiver their test result.
It their test is negative they are free to move about wherever they like, if it is positive they have to go to a specific quarantine hotel, paid for by the Greek Govt until the end of their stay, assuming they are tourists of course.
We knew this was never going to work because many hotels have not opened and so far two positive tested people have been ''lost'' because their declared hotel on the PLF was not open so they were put into different hotels. The authorities caught up with them 48 hours later when they had been happily wandering the streets for a day in the belief that their pcr test at the airport was negative.
We do wonder at the Greek Govt's decision to put at least one quarantine hotel in the middle of a high density population area, and also note that decision to open or close airports to different airports is down to the Greek Civil Aviation Authority not to the 'answerable' government.
