Corfu prosecutor Dionysis Lambridis has drawn up charges against Bishop Nektarios of Corfu and the Diapontia islands, the mayor of central Corfu Meropi Ydraiou, the head of the municipal council Dimitris Metallinos and clerics and worshippers who participated in a service held at the Aghios Spyridon church, despite the restrictions to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
Three people who attended the service – two men and a woman – were reportedly given holy communion, despite the particularly high risk the ritual poses for the spread of the virus as people use the same spoon.
