It doesn't seem believable that we've been under lockdown for a month now, but it is true. Thirty-one days have passed since the Porto Cafe in the marina was closed as well as all the other bars, cafes, and restaurants in Greece. There are some murmurings from the authorities that they might start allowing some businesses to open again starting with hairdressers of all things as it is what most people miss. I suppose it doesn't matter that it is impossible to get one's hair cut from a two-meter distance, yet that is what will happen.
I would like the hardware stores and chandleries to open so that I could buy a new foot pump for the fresh water in the galley and perhaps some paint. And of course, I wonder how soon will we be allowed to swim in the sea again. It doesn't make any sense to forbid swimming since it is always done at a safe distance.
Free movement will not be allowed until at least mid-June or early July, so it looks like I will be staying in the marina until then. That's also when the cafes and restaurants will open again. Unless of course, more people will start getting sick again in which case we'll go back to lockdown.
