Greece reported its tenth case of coronavirus on Thursday, a person related to an individual who recently travelled to Israel and Egypt, health authorities said.
Greece on Wednesday ordered the closure of schools and banned public gatherings in three districts in the west of the country from Thursday as a precaution after a person from the region tested positive for coronavirus, authorities said.
That person had recently returned from a religious pilgrimage to Israel and Egypt.
The ban was in effect for 48 hours and subject to review, authorities said.
