The government continuing to reinforce the national health system and demonstrating flexibility, Peloni says

"The epidemiological situation in our country is still aggravated, the pressure on the national health system is intensifying and everyone's fatigue is increasing," government spokesperson Aristotelia Peloni said on Monday during a press briefing.

"The government is responding to these facts by continuing to reinforce the national health system and demonstrating the necessary flexibility in terms of measures to stem the pandemic," she said.

Peloni added: "In this context, following the recommendation of the committee of experts, targeted adjustments to the measures were decided and implemented that take into account the psychological fatigue in society and the fact that the day is becoming longer and the weather improving. They primarily concern an extension of the hours for circulating abroad, in order to avoid gatherings in houses and indoors."

She clarified that the aim was to achieve better compliance with the measures, a reduction of the epidemiological burden, decongestion of the public health system and a gradual restart of economic and social activities.
