Greece will ramp up the amount of money it will throw at the economy to counter the effects of coronavirus.

The government will spend another 3 billion euros ($3.2 billion) on top of the 3.8 billion euros already announced, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said in televised address. The country will also tap 3 billion euros from the European Union’s long-term budget, taking total funds to about 10 billion euros, he said.
