Prime Minister of Greece Kyriakos Mitsotakis met with Archbishop Ieronymos of Athens and All Greece and asked for the Church’s assistance in informing the faithful. Archbishop Ieronymos reassured Prime Minister Mitsotakis that “the Church of Greece stands by the Greek State and will lend all its support to the progress of the Greek people.”
The Holy Synod in an encyclical, calls on the faithful to “intensify all our prayers to Jesus Christ, Who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light, in order to safeguard His creation in a healthy and complete way.”
In addition, the Holy Synod recommends that those who have symptoms of the disease temporarily refrain from public activities as well as from embracing and kissing other people for the sake of public health.
