OPAP to Reopen Retail Stores across Greece

Greek gambling operator OPAP has decided to re-open all its retail stores across the country following the removal of some of the restrictive measures to contain Covid-19 pandemic.
OPAP’s 3,750 stores are now open. Street vendors can also restart the sale of Hellenic Lotteries products. All OPAP stores and Play-branded gaming halls in Greece, in addition to its Cyprus-based stores, have been closed for about two months.
“OPAP assures customers that its employees and agents are working to secure the smooth reopening of the stores’ network and the best possible service for them, offering again OPAP games,” its press release said.
“OPAP also urges customers to carefully adhere to the prevention and hygiene guidelines and avoid crowding inside and outside stores.”
In line with government restrictions that remain in place, OPAP will implement a range of measures across its Greek retail network to protect staff and customers.
All in-venue seating areas will be temporarily sealed off, while people inside stores must keep a distance of at least 1.5m between one another. Employees and customers are also advised to wears protective masks.
OPAP also announced a number of specific measures for certain stores in terms of how many people should be allowed inside each venue. For stores measuring up to 20m², only four people will be permitted, while for locations measuring between 20 and 100m², up to four people will be allowed and only one person for every 10m².
For larger stores with more than 100m² floor space, 12 people will allowed inside at one time, provided they are spread across an area of one person for every 15m². OPAP stores larger than 300m² may allow one person for each 10m² per floor.
In addition, OPAP said stores will open from 10am in the Attica region, excluding islands, and the broader urban area of Thessaloniki, while other stores in Greece will open at 9am.
