ATHENS. The Minister of Culture Lina Mendoni announced the timetable for the reopening of archaeological sites, museums, open-air cinemas as well as the recommencement of filming, rehearsals and live events.
Ms Mendoni gave a press conference to announce what will be happening with cultural activities following the lifting of the lockdown.
She also announced that the number of those eligible for the 800 Euros benefit will be increased retrospectively for artists and employees in the cultural sector and a register for artists will be created in Ergani from 13 May.
