Greece’s minister for merchant marine, Yiannis Plakiotakis, went into quarantine at home after testing positive for Covid-19 late on Monday.
This is second time this year that Plakiotakis has self-isolated for Covid-19. In September, he went into quarantine after meeting a foreign investor who later turned out to have contracted the disease.
“Mr Plakiotakis’s health is good and he remains at home, observing the instructions of Greek health Νational Public Health Organisation,” the shipping ministry said in a statement early on Tuesday.
