Following the handover event, Zhang told Xinhua that "the epidemic in Greece is getting more and more serious ... China and Greece are very excellent friends and partners, so we are doing everything we can to help."

During Saturday's event, the Chinese ambassador also commended the measures taken by the Greek government as "early and forceful," again thanking the Greek government for its strong support in China's fight against the outbreak.

Greek State Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis, Environment and Energy minister Kostis Hatzidakis and Alternate Foreign Minister on European Affairs Miltiadis Varvitsiotis were also present at the event, according to a statement from the Greek Health Ministry.

Earlier this week, Kikilias visited the Chinese embassy in Athens, where Zhang handed over to him 50,000 face masks donated by the Chinese community in Greece.

As of Friday night, Greece has registered 10 deaths from the epidemic, according to reports from the country's national news agency. Earlier, the Greek Health Ministry reported 495 confirmed COVID-19 cases nationwide.
