Strict protocols for return of unvaccinated medical staff to work in GreeceHealth Minister Thanos Plevris reviewing options for a strict protocol of medical staff to duty, with measures that will ensure there is no threat of spreading infection in health facilities

Doctors and nursing staff who were suspended from duties during the coronavirus pandemic after refusing to be vaccinated will return to their jobs, following a Council of State (CoS) decision, under strict protocols as of January 1, 2023, ANA reports.

Greece's highest administrative court ruled that the extension of mandatory vaccination for health workers until the end of 2022 was unconstitutional because authorities were obligated to have reassessed the necessity of the measure before extending it.

Health Minister Thanos Plevris reviewing options for a strict protocol of medical staff to duty, with measures that will ensure there is no threat of spreading infection in health facilities. Among the measures being considered are mandatory weekly or biweekly coronavirus tests (PCR or rapid test), which will be paid for by the health staff themselves. Wearing masks is expected to be mandatory.
