Holiday advice

302 today for Greece.

Don't think we can unclench our arseholes just yet.

I’ve had to cancel Malaga because of flights. Gutted.

Just come back from a week in Santorini.

Got talking to the owner of a restaurant and she said they had 0 cases up to the end of June and to date 20 in the 11 weeks since.

Population of circa 10k ,not exactly riddled with it.

Greece down to 207 today, little bit of positivity.

If my maths is correct that puts the 7 day rolling figure at 1719 cases, 16 per 100,000.

Main problem is the first two days (7th and 8th Sep) was 139 and 169 respectively. That means if the next two days case numbers are higher then Greece will creep even closer to the dreaded 20 per 100,000.

180 announced today, if it stays low for the next couple of days, it should be alright for this week.

Flying back from Turkey today. Great two weeks, with mainly Turkish people the first week and more English the second. Plenty of face-masks in evidence and hand sanitizer in every restaurant.

Was due to go to Portugal in early October but sacked it off as my mate can't do 2 weeks quarantine.

Whereabouts in Turkey? Istanbul is the most full on place I've ever been in my life. I'll be far more prepared for it next time.

Did you find it impossible to pass a bistro bar without touts trying to start some conversation with you?

I’m surprised countries are not making us quarantine with our numbers.

I might go to Wales on a week Friday. It's no Malaga but I've some new mates to see in Swansea. Anyone else know Wind Street?! LOL.

Me too. I'm surprised all travel hasn't been stopped worldwide, just shows how much some areas rely on the tourism industry. Although I'm not sure how much tourists are spreading it, the majority of Greek cases are in the Attica region and having spent a couple of days there earlier this month the tourists numbers were very low.

Due out to Rhodes on the 10th, as long as we can get there and not be sent home early I'll be happy, 14 days at home on return isn't a mither but if it goes proper tits up and flights aren't going or even worse we get shipped home early I'll be proper pissed off.

Looking like Greece could be off the cards by the time I want to go next week. Regretting not getting away earlier in the summer now. Might have to give serious consideration to Poland instead.

If you can get a test done within 72 hours of your departure Cyprus looks 'Safe'.

Think it's changed now due to government telling them to close up. Now have to go through the gov website, I kept getting a too busy message (not that I would get tested just to go on holiday)

Try this number mate. It's direct through to Rochdale Council. 0808 196 4100. We all got a test 3 days ago.

No it isn’t.
Walk through was shut down.
Rochdale Facebook page said,

“Due to severe issues beyond our control with the national COVID-19 test booking system the government has asked us to close our booking helpline, which we’d set up to help our residents get tested more easily.

You must now visit nhs.uk/coronavirus or call 119 to book a test. You cannot just turn up and you must have symptoms.“

312 today I think that puts it's at just under 19 for the 7 days, assuming the decisions made tomorrow are based on those figures Greece as a whole should still be exempt from quarantine for another week atleast. Difficult to judge what they will do with individual islands / mainland though.
