CORFU. Central Corfu & Diapontia Islands Mayor Meropi Ydraiou greassured the Municipal Council and the public regarding the post on a British website which says there is a case of coronavirus on the ship docking in Corfu on Thursday.
The Mayor said that she had been in touch with the Ministry of Tourism and that there were no cases on board - the cruise ship left the port of Piraeus having been given a certificate of health by the doctor on board.
She also said that she was in communication with Corfu Port Authority and that the Health Inspector will be provided with a certificate of health before any passengers disembark.
The Mayor expressed her surprise that these posts were published one day before the cruise ship arrives in Corfu as it had docked in Piraeus, Heraklion and Katakolo in the last few days without any problem and wondered if there was some kind of 'tourism war' against Corfu.
