We had a week off in September along the coast; infection rates were low and increased restrictions came into force during our time away to limit business opening hours but everywhere we went people were masked for the most part and being sensible.

Kos a few weeks ago was picked because of its low Covid numbers (I think there was one confirmed case on the island when we went) and there were plenty of precautions in place; every travelling group was swabbed at the airport (I was), masks were mandatory inside buildings and on transport, and a few days into our break the Greek authorities made masks mandatory outside too (basically, sit down and you’re fine, but stand up and it’s masks on). All felt very safe, no notifications of infections to be concerned about from either the Greek system going there or the UK system coming back.

Overwhelming majority of people are behaving sensibly here but, like the US – although not to the same extent – we’re seeing second wave growths everywhere. Will be interesting to see what happens in the next fortnight as our UK lockdown is supposed to end then but right now that seems premature.
