All passengers arriving at Athens International Airport “Eleftherios Venizelos” are escorted to a hotel where tests will be carried out to determine whether those passengers have contracted the COVIC-19 virus.  The passengers will remain at the hotel until they receive the results of their tests.  The results will be made known to them in a period not exceeding 24 hours.  Those found negative to the COVID-19 virus will be able to leave the hotel for their domicile, where they will remain isolated for a period of fourteen (14) days.  Those found positive will remain at the hotel where their health will be monitored by doctors.
