Greeks started a gradual return to normalcy on Monday, with the partial lifting of the restrictive measures imposed on March 23 to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus. Citizens no longer need to inform authorities about their visit to pharmacy, supermarket, or park by sending a text message when leaving their home. A few stores opened on Monday, and more will follow in the coming weeks. Hotels are due to reopen on June 1. However, officials and experts reiterated that people should continue to observe prevention rules to "stay safe", which is the new buzzword in the government's public awareness campaign.
