Greece tightens some lockdown curbs to stem spread of COVID-19 infections

Greece on Friday tightened lockdown restrictions in parts of the country including Athens in a bid to halt the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic after a rise in infections in recent days.

Under the new curbs, authorities brought forward by three hours a nighttime curfew in metropolitan Athens, where about half of the country's population lives, and in other high-infection areas during weekends.
