Greece records 21 new Coronavirus cases

Greece said on Saturday it had recorded 21 new coronavirus cases, bringing the total in the country to 66.

The 54 travelers, on a religious pilgrimage, are all from three cities in southwest Greece and the nearby island of Zakynthos. But one new case, announced Saturday, that came in contact with th egroup members is from the central island of Evia and another patient, a group member, attends a university on the island of Crete, prompting fears of a wider geographical spread of the disease.

The group returned to Greece on February 27 and, last weekend, many showed mild flu symptoms. The 66-year-old man was stricken with pneumonia.

The government is expected to unveil measures concerning schools and other public spaces on Sunday or Monday.
