Spectators may return to sports facilities to watch games as long as adults are vaccinated, the ratio of unvaccinated youths does not exceed 5%, and all must wear masks without exception, the Sports Ministry revealed on Thursday.
Following the approval of the Health Ministry's national health committee, adult spectators will be obliged to show a vaccination certificate when purchasing an electronic ticket.
Younger people be obliged to show a PCR or rapid test with a negative test result.
At facilities without an electronic ticketing system, proof will be required at the door.
Open-air facilities may seat up to 80% of full capacity (or a maximum 25,000 people) while closed facilities will seat a maximum of 60% capacity (or a maximum 3,000 people).
The date these regulations will go into effect will be revealed expected in a few days.
In addition, a health protocol for the Half-Marathon race of Athens (September 12) was approved, with the provision that only fully vaccinated athletes are allowed to register.
