Editorial To Vima: Lessons from Italy
In a recent editorial, Ta Nea underlined that neglecting guidelines and recommendations constitutes criminal irresponsibility and anti-social behaviour.
Developments in neighbouring Italy which is grappling with a veritable COVID-19 nightmare must be studied very carefully.

New measures intended to limit the further spread of the epidemic in coordination and cooperation with the rest of Europe will be announced today.
Laying down the law, however, is not enough as implementation is the key. The government must make it clear here that disobedience will not be tolerated.

In a recent editorial, Ta Nea underlined that neglecting guidelines and recommendations constitutes criminal irresponsibility and anti-social behaviour.
