Greek Minister: Our aim is to give the health system 10 days to 'catch its breath'The regional governor of Central Macedonia announced that on Tuesday he signed a decision providing 1.5 million euros to support the Greek police with 60 vehicles and other equipment

"Τhe immediate aim is to give the health system 10 days to 'catch its breath', with [police] out in the streets and the public in their homes," stated Citizen Protection Minister Michalis Chrisochoidis after his meeting on Tuesday with the regional governor of Central Macedonia, Apostolos Tzitzikostas, the chief of the police in northern Greece, Konstantinos Skoumas, and the chief of the Thessaloniki police, Lazaros Mavropoulos.

"Whatever needs to be done and can be done, will be done. We have both the ability and the capability to deal with anything that arises," the minister noted.
