Samos

The personnel involved are grounded at the quarantine site for the remainder of the quarantine period.

A Government release said on Saturday afternoon, the Disaster Finance Team from the Ministry of Finance reported to the National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC) the sighting of a vehicle assigned to the Three Hearts Shrine quarantine site at the SCB ATM location close to the Fugalei Market.

Consequently, NEOC contacted the driver of the said vehicle to verify the movements of the vehicle that afternoon, in particular between 2.30pm to 3.45pm.

This follows the recent round of talks in American Samoa a few days before Christmas by the Joint Trade Task Force.

From that meeting, a draft trade and economic agreement was adopted with formal endorsement set for the next round of talks later this year.

The coast guard said Monday it had rescued 2,492 people in 70 operations off the eastern islands of Lesbos, Chios, Samos, Agathonissi, Farmakonissi, Kos and Symi from Friday morning until Monday morning.

The coast guard also rescued another 13 people in the water near Chios. One person was unconscious and hospitalized.
