(ANSA) - BELGRADE, JUL 30 - Greece has begun deploying police units to some island amid a worrying spread of coronavirus variants, The Guardian reports today.

The police presence will be increased on isles such as Mykonos and Ios "as concerns mounted over local entrepreneurs failing to comply with health measures aimed at curbing the pandemic," the daily said. "The Delta variant has meant that every country is dealing with the fourth wave now and not as expected in November," the Greek Tourism minister Haris Theoharis told the Guardian. (ANSA).
