Asked to comment on speculation that schools will remain closed for the rest of the academic year, Education Minister Niki Kerameus told Skai TV on Friday that no such recommendation has been received by the ministry until now.
Greece closed schools of all levels, universities and other educational institutions on March 6, ten days after the first coronavirus patient tested positive.
