                From your article it looks as though Greece is only going to test severe cases going forward.
                "Laboratory testing, as passers-by increase, will only be carried out in cases with severe symptomatology rather than mild ones," said Tsiodras.

              Coronavirus: Greece shuts schools as WHO warns about local transmission


              Greece has become the latest country to try to halt the spread of the coronavirus by closing schools and universities and cancelling large public gatherings, as the World Health Organization insisted the virus could still be “pushed back” if governments around the world took the necessary action.

              Greece followed the lead of Iran and Italy, where deaths on Thursday rose to 148, by shuttering educational institutions and cancelling sports events and other public gatherings in three western regions.

              The national public health organisation said the two-day shutdown included “a suspension of all mass gatherings” at theatres, cinemas, museums and sports events in the Peloponnese regions of Achaia and Ileia and the island of Zakynthos.

              As the number of infections jumped from 10 to 31 in a single day, a health ministry official said it expected a significant rise in cases in the coming weeks.

              All 21 of the new cases were detected among travellers who had recently returned from Israel and Egypt, and are believed to be connected with a 65-year-old man battling pneumonia in a hospital isolation unit in the western port city of Patras. At least nine people were said to be in serious condition.
