Greece reopened the Evzoni border crossing with North Macedonia to EU citizens and from 14 other countries which are on a list approved by EU authorities. All travelers arriving to Greece are required to fill a Passenger Locator Form (PLF) at least 48 hours before check-in. The form is part of the country's planning for protection against the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and will allow authorities to create barcodes for travelers so that testing of new arrivals can be targeted.
