Yiannis Plakiotakis, Greece’s minister for merchant marine, went into quarantine on Thursday after meeting a person who contracted the coronavirus the day before.
Plakiotakis, who will stay home to await his test results, is one of three Greek cabinet members known to have taken the precautionary measure so far after meeting the same carrier.
The other two are investment minister Adonis Georgiadis and his deputy Nikos Papathanassis, who announced earlier on 3 September in a statement they too had met the person in question.
