Of those violations, 10 were in Attica, seven on islands in the northern Aegean and four in Western Greece.

Also on Tuesday, police recorded another 72 violations of a law banning people from leaving their region of residence, which is expected to be lifted next week.

A total of 889 such violations of that regulation have been recorded since May 4.
