Before going to Istanbul, the Greek Prime Minister took the test. It was negative. But when he allowed it, the next morning, he had some slight symptoms, such as curling. He took a test, it came out positive, but he wanted to have a molecular test. He didn't feel, you see, a Covid patient. He wanted to make sure. While waiting for the results of the molecular test, he contacted Zelenski by phone and they talked about the siege of Mariupol with the thousands of expatriates there, and the only Western diplomat, Manolis Androulakis, who was left in the long-suffering city, without water, food (only for three days), without electricity.
The molecular did not take long to arrive and it was also positive. It is speculated that Mitsotakis caught the virus at Versailles. So many people were there, so many people he met, so many people he shook hands with. He calculated that with the days it took for the virus to manifest. As soon as he was confirmed positive for coronavirus, the following steps were taken: First of all, everyone who had had contact with him in Istanbul, the Ecumenical Patriarch, the Metropolitans in the Phanar were notified. The Patriarch had recently passed the coronovirus, as had Erdogan. Secondly, those who travelled with him to Istanbul were notified, such as the two ladies of his diplomatic office (Eleni Surani and Anna-Maria Boura), Mr. Nicolaides of the Foreign Ministry who, because of his knowledge of Turkish, was also used as an interpreter, members of the Prime Minister's security detail, and others. For your information, Mr. Nicolaides took the test on Monday morning before leaving for a new mission to Washington and he was negative.
The Greek Prime Minister started yesterday to inform all political leaders by phone about his meeting with Mr. Erdogan. He will remain at home for the period provided by the quarantines and will work from there. But, he will miss Thursday's trip to Rome, where the summit of the southern European countries (Italy, Spain, Greece and Portugal) will take place.
