The Greek Ministry of Tourism has announced two important changes to the health protocols for tourists entering the country, European Truth said, citing Ekathimerini.

First, the Greek government has decided to allow travelers with a negative rapid test, and not just a PCR test, to enter the country.

Secondly, the minimum age at which children entering the country must provide documents confirming that they are not sick with coronavirus (COVID-19) has been increased. Now children under 12 years old are allowed to enter without such documents. Previously, it was allowed for children under six years old.

All these changes concern people arriving from countries for which it is allowed to travel to Greece and from Greece.

Those traveling to Greece are also given the option to show the EU vaccination certificate in digital or written form instead of a negative test result.
