Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has said in a newspaper interview that Greece's economy will not close again because of the coronavirus pandemic if it is just to protect an unvaccinated minority, Reuters reports.

"When we imposed across-the-board measures, there were no vaccines," Mitsotakis told Kathimerini newspaper. "We do have vaccines now."

Mitsotakis said he can't make vaccinations mandatory. "But everyone assumes his responsibility. The country will not close again for the protection of a few unvaccinated."
