		</div><p>Greece’s health minister is requisitioning the services of private sector doctors from certain specialities in the wider Athens region to help fight a renewed surge in coronavirus infections that is straining hospitals to their limits.</p>
<p>Vassilis Kikilias said on Monday that, despite repeated appeals to private sector doctors to volunteer to help in the public sector, very few have come forward.</p>
<p>Therefore, he said, he is ordering those from pathology, pneumonology and general medicine to help.</p>
<p>The requisition order is for one month for 206 doctors, health authorities said.</p>
<p>Greece has been experiencing a renewed surge of Covid-19 despite lockdown-related measures being in force since early November, with dozens of daily deaths recorded, as well as increasing numbers of patients in intensive care units.</p>
<p>About 500 people are admitted to hospital each day across the country with coronavirus, health authorities say, 200 of those in the wider Athens region.</p>
<p>On Sunday, Greece announced 1,514 new Covid-19 cases and 41 new daily deaths, taking the total confirmed cases since the start of the pandemic to 237,125, with 7,462 deaths in the country that has a population of around 11 million.</p>
<p>Despite the surging numbers, authorities have announced a slight relaxation of lockdown measures, with hairdressers, nail salons and open-air archaeological sites reopening as of Monday morning.</p>
<p>Amateur fishing, which had also been banned, is also being allowed for those living in coastal areas, as access to the sea is allowed only on foot or by bicycle.</p>
