In case you are experiencing any of the symptoms, you should not go to your doctor or to the emergency room, to avoid any potential contamination, but you are kidnly asked to call the Greek National Public Health Organization at +30 2105212054 and +30 210 5212000 so they can evaluate if your condition requires further investigation regarding the Covid-19.
