Nov 24, 2020.
As of 2.30pm yesterday at the Promahon Border Checkpoint (BCP), the Greek border authorities have made rapid COVID-19 tests on all truck drivers entering Greece.
Each truck will
wait about 15 minutes at the point until the result is ready. Additionally,
truck drivers are warned that checks for a pre-filled PLF /Passenger Locator
Form/ form are also starting.
Border police
remind that hitherto requirements for entering Greece will be valid
only for Greek citizens and resident foreigners, as well as persons traveling
for business or humanitarian reasons. All of them, as before, must submit to
the Greek border authorities a pre-completed travel form, a QR code obtained
and a negative PCR test for COVID 19, made not earlier than 72 hours before
entering the territory of the country.
A rapid test will
be carried out on each of this category of travelers transiting through the
Promahon BCP. If positive, Greek citizens and resident foreigners will be let
through and placed under a 14-day quarantine and the rest will not be allowed
into the Hellenic Republic. The new measures do not apply to truck drivers.
From 21 to 5
hours, the Greek border authorities do not let cars and buses through the
border point of entry into Greece.
