The meeting decided on the cancellation of parades for the March 25 holiday marking the start of the Greek Revolution and Greece’s victorious war of independence against Ottoman rule. In honour of the national anniversary, wreaths will be laid by small delegations from the local authorities in each area.

Participants in the meeting included Education Minister Niki Kerameus, Health Minister Vassilis Kikilias, Interior Minister Takis Theodorikakos, State Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis, Deputy Interior Minister Theodoros Livanios, Deputy Minister responsible for the government’s work Akis Skertsos, Civil Protection Secretary General Nikos Hardalias and infectious diseases expert, Prof. Sotiris Tsiodras.
