Summer has arrived but luxury yachts anchored in deep-water ports are sparse, elite parties have yet to begin, music festivals are banned, bars remain closed. However, behind that bleak landscape is a whole plan to revive the tourism industry that has begun to spread across the island. In the labyrinthine alleys of the main town, street painters are painstakingly painting the walls. They hope that in the next few weeks or months, their work will be flooded with check-in photos on Instagram. Greece is launching a campaign called Blue Freedom on 80 islands with the desire to rebuild the smokeless industry amid the pandemic. The campaign started with a plan to vaccinate against Covid-19 for all people on the islands. Mykonos struggles to revive tourism. “Heaven” hides Greece’s post-Covid-19 economic recovery plans rely heavily on the tourism industry. This industry accounts for 18% of the economy and provides one-fifth of job opportunities for workers. Tourism also helped Greeks get out of a 10-year financial crisis that ended just before the outbreak of Covid-19. Last year, the country welcomed less than a third of 2019’s tourist arrivals, according to the UNWTO World Tourism Organization. Mykonos belongs to the Cyclades group of islands and is the most famous destination in Greece. Before the pandemic, this place was known as a “party paradise” for the super rich and famous. From former US First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis to female stars such as Grace Kelly (USA), Brigitte Bardot (France), Sophia Loren (Italy)… all have visited Mykonos. Mayor Konstantinos Koukas said: “The people of Mykonos were shocked when the number of tourists dropped sharply last year. But this year there are signs that the number of visitors may double compared to 2020.” Before the pandemic, the island of Mykonos was famous for its bustling nightlife. Compared to some other Mediterranean countries that also depend on tourism, Greece is said to be working hard to revive the smokeless industry. At the beginning of April, as the world faced a new wave of epidemics, the country reopened to most tourists. It is the second EU country, after Croatia, to allow Americans to come in without quarantine. According to the CNN , Americans are the most generous travelers in the Mediterranean country. The US ambassador to Greece, Geoffrey Pyatt, recently praised the “record nine direct flights per day by US airlines to Greece this summer”. With dozens of fully vaccinated islands and long coastlines, Greece promises to become a “shelter paradise” in the middle of the epidemic season. However, things in Mykonos seem more complicated. This party island is unlike any other idyllic destination. Mykonos’ brand and sales are shaped by its bustling nightlife, a business that’s not easy to bounce back from during the pandemic. Magic formula Although the US State Department recently added Greece to its long list of “Level 4: Do Not Travel” countries, the promise of a Covid-19-free Mykonos has attracted the interest of travelers worldwide. demand, especially from the US. Iraklis Zisimopoulos, CEO of the Semeli Hospitality Group hotel, restaurant and bar chain on the island, said his company has received a lot of inquiries and booking requests recently. “The two main questions are the vaccination plan and whether tourists will be able to party on the island like they used to. We told them that in July things will probably be back to normal as they were. There’s never been a pandemic.” Zisimopoulos describes the vaccine as a “miracle recipe for a return to nightlife”. Greece hopes a nationwide vaccination plan will help revive Mykonos. Global reopening plans remain flexible, depending on the policies of each country. The new variant of SARS-CoV-2 is a constant worry. Some countries continue to ban their citizens from traveling abroad. Travelers may be forced to quarantine after returning home. However, in Mykonos, the first large yachts of this summer have arrived. At the trendy Alemagou Beach bar, German booze is ready again. After months of lockdown, a visitor from Hamburg (Germany) said that she and her friends were finally reunited in Mykonos and it felt like a dream. “Last year, we were not vaccinated. But this year, we became the first to get vaccinated and travel. We want to show people that they can have a good time and be safe here,” she said.

“The new naming does not replace the scientific names of the variants, but can aid in public discussion,” said Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO technical team leader on Covid-19. Other SARS-CoV-2 variants of interest will be labeled with the words “Epsiloon”, “Zeta”, “Eta”, “Theta” and “Iota”. (Artwork: BBC) Under the new system, the British variant (B.1.1.7) is called “Alpha”, the South African variant (B.1.351) is “Beta”, the Brazilian variant (P1) is “Gamma”. The Indian variant B.1.617 is divided into sub-lineages, where the B.1.617.2 variant is called “Delta” and the B.1.617.1 variant is called “Kappa”. Names such as variant B.1.1.7.2 will continue to be used in scientific circles, because of the mutational information their names convey. “Despite their advantages, scientific names can be difficult to say and remember, and easily misinterpreted. As a result, people often refer to variants by the places where they were first discovered, causing stigma and discrimination,” according to the WHO statement. “To avoid this and simplify mass communication, WHO encourages authorities, national media and everyone else to use these new names,” the WHO said. The Greek alphabet has 24 letters and WHO has not yet planned what to do next if all 24 letters are used. According to AFP, “Epsilon”, “Zeta”, “Eta”, “Theta” and “Iota” are names for variants of interest.

WHO technical team leader on Covid-19 Maria Van Kerkhove. Photo: AFP According to the new announcement, WHO will use Greek letters to refer to variants that were first detected in countries such as the UK, South Africa and India. For example, the variant in the UK is called Alpha, in South Africa it is Beta, and in India it is Delta. The full list of names has been published on the WHO website. The Government of India earlier this month criticized the naming of variant B.1.617.2 – first detected in the country last October – as “Indian variant”, despite WHO never officially called it that. “No country should be discriminated against in detecting and reporting variants,” said WHO’s Covid-19 technical team leader Maria Van Kerkhove, “we don’t want to replace scientific names.” available, but only to assist in the transmission of certain information to the general public” If more than 24 variants are officially identified, meaning the system will run out of Greek letters, WHO will announce the new designation. Ms. Van Kerkhove on May 31 also called for close monitoring of variants and sharing of scientific data to help prevent the spread. Over the weekend, Vietnamese health officials warned of a new virus variant, which is believed to be a dangerous combination of two Alpha and Delta variants. While a scientific adviser to the British Government on May 31 said that the country is in the early stages of a third wave of Covid-19 infections, partly due to the Delta variant.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. Photo: Reuters As suggested by WHO, the COVID-19 mutation is called “British strain” or B.1.1.7 should be called “Alpha”, while the common mutant strain in South Africa is renamed “Beta” . The two Brazilian strains, called P.1 and P.2, became Gamma and Zeta, respectively, while the two subtypes of the “Indian variant”, B.1.617.1 and B.1.617.2, were called “Kappa” and “Delta”. Two other strains, first reported by the US in March of this year, were assigned the most difficult names to remember, “Epsilon” and “Iota”. Maria Van Kerkhove, head of WHO’s COVID-19 expert team, stressed that the new names will not replace the scientific name of the strain, because the scientific name is a complex combination of letters and numbers. Instead, the new name will make it easier for people to name variables in public discussions. At the same time, this will help remove the stigma against the country that first discovered the mutation. “No country should be discriminated against for detecting and reporting mutations,” and Van Kerkhove said. WHO List of VOCs of concern. List of Variants of Interest (VOI). In which, the first column is the new name proposed by WHO. The WHO’s new move comes in the context of India’s growing anger when the media calls the B.1.617 virus strain an “Indian variant”. India’s Health Ministry argued last month that the name freely used in the media was “misleading” because it was not a name designated by the WHO. Earlier, in February, Professor Salim Abdool Karim, then co-chair of South Africa’s Ministerial Advisory Committee on COVID-19, told CNN in an interview to stop calling the virus spreading. in his country is the “South African variant.” Instead, call it by its scientific name: 501Y.V2. The politically correct idea of ​​WHO is supported by many countries. But it also confuses many people. Some observers argue that Greek letters are actually not that easy to remember. While others point out that the WHO is in danger of “running out of names” at some point, since the Greek alphabet has only 24 letters.

Tourists began to return to Greece (Image: DW) The tourism industry has been a solid pillar of the Greek economy for decades, accounting for about a fifth of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) and employing a fifth of the country’s workforce. The Greek tourism industry has gone through a dark period. The pandemic leaves Greece with just over six million visitors in 2020, generating modest revenue of more than four billion euros ($4.9 billion).

1. Corn cob In the 1700s, Native Americans often used dried corncobs as ‘toilet paper’. This material is quite abundant, rich and soft, easy to absorb. Although the user may be a little sore, it is still considered safer and more comfortable than many other materials. 2. Snow For people living in cold areas, snow was a good candidate in a time when toilet paper wasn’t available. The only downside is probably the feeling of cold to the bone, but if you get used to it, no one will feel embarrassed because it is very clean. 3. Rocks It sounds unbelievable, but there were times when people used stones for cleaning. The advantage of this type of “toilet paper” is that it is easy to find, abundant. Just like the cob, although this is not the most comfortable material, it is at least very convenient when there is no other better material to replace it. 4. Wooden stick About 2000 years ago, people in ancient China used toilet sticks. This “toilet paper” is cut from bamboo and other woods, shaped like spoons. People call this tool salaka, cachou or chugi. The ends of the tools are covered with cloth to create a more comfortable feeling for the user. Even so, it still makes people shudder just thinking about it. 5. Broken ceramic shards Compared to the Chinese, the Greeks have even more creepy “toilet paper”. In ancient toilets, the Greeks used “pessoi” (small pieces of pottery) to clean after defecation. These ceramic pieces, usually 3-11 cm in diameter, are cut and angled from broken pottery. This material is so popular that the Greeks have an adage: “Three pieces are enough to wipe”. 6. Tersorium If the above materials are too hard and easily cause pain to the user, the Roman tersorium seems more comfortable. Tersorium is a cleaning device created by attaching sponges to a stick. Although there is no specific document on how to use it, many people think it is likely that tersorium is a toilet brush and not “toilet paper”. 7. Mussel shell People in the island and coastal areas often make use of natural resources as an alternative to “toilet paper”, despite the fact that they have many sharp edges. If there is no mussel shell, people will replace it with coconut shell. 8. Grass Grass and leaves are the softest method ever used by man in history. The advantage of this natural material is that it is easy to find, environmentally friendly and convenient. 9. Sand Different climatic conditions lead to different cleaning methods. In arid places, people are forced to use sand to replace toilet paper. This way is not very comfortable but is almost the only option for many people.

Tourism contributes a quarter of the Greek government’s annual revenue, and Athens wants to convince tour operators that the country is safe to visit. Earlier, on May 10, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, after talks with his Spanish counterpart Pedro Sanchez, emphasized that Athens is one of the first capitals of the EU, along with Madrid, to support the idea of ​​a “vaccination certificate” to allow the resumption of tourism.

“This tuning is better for the current, unpredictable and ever-evolving threat of Covid-19. We continue to recommend that US citizens reconsider traveling abroad and postpone trips if possible, ”the ministry wrote in an email.

In addition to reflecting on travel health notices issued by the CDC, US State Department advisers are looking at logistical factors, such as travel restrictions for US citizens. If the passenger decides to go to the countries with a level 4 warning, the State Department recommends that they carefully read the information about the risks of arrival. The warning comes as the number of US passengers continues to increase and many countries around the world begin to open their borders to Americans. On April 19, Greece started to allow US citizens to re-enter if they have a negative test certificate for the virus or have been vaccinated. United Airlines has also announced new flights to Greece, Iceland and Croatia, starting in July. Earlier this month, the CDC said fully vaccinated people could move, and the risk this group poses is quite low. Even so, the agency said it still discourages movement as the number of new Covid-19 infections is still increasing in the US and globally. On its website, the agency recommends that residents postpone international trips until everyone is fully vaccinated. The agency warned: “Passengers who are fully vaccinated are less likely to become infected and spread Covid-19. However, international migration is still potentially risky and even fully immunized people are at risk of catching new virus strains and spreading them to the community ”.
