Greece Adds Support Measures for Workers Impacted by Virus Curbs

Greece announced new measures to support workers and companies affected by the latest curbs introduced to slow the spread of coronavirus.

The six measures include a special purpose compensation of 534 euros ($605) for employees in the entertainment and restaurant sector who are not able to work, according to a joint statement from the Labor and Finance Ministries on Thursday.

The government will also extend to the end of March a special program to pay 60% of the salary of employees whose working hours are reduced because of coronavirus curbs.
