Kozani has gone into lockdown a day after Greek authorities announced the same for areas of West Attica.


The latest figures show 916 cases and 96 deaths. The number of daily cases is slowly decreasing but experts warn that any complacency during the next two weeks could easily reverse the situation.

On Thursday, local time, Greek auhorities announced stricter restrictions for parts of West Attica, with people unable to leave their homes between 6pm - 5am. Churches will be closed for personal worship, and so will be most retail stores.
