So far, all restaurants, bar and cafes have already shut down, except for deliveries and take-aways. Deputy government spokeswoman Aristotelia Peloni says the expanded closures as of Wednesday will not affect supermarkets, pharmacies, banks or gas stations.
Peloni also says people are required to maintain a two-meter distance from each other in supermarket lines and to avoid cash payments by using credit or debit cards.
He says Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and his family have tested negative for the virus. Greece has 331 infected and four deaths.
