Greece
Between 29.6–30.11, a stay of more than 20 hours in Greece will result in a donation deferral of 28 days. The deferral does not apply to plasma donation.
The WNV risk areas are: Mainland Greece (including the Peloponnese peninsula and the island of Euboea).
In the Greek archipelago, for example in Crete, Corfu, Kos, or Rhodes, traveling does not result in a separate donation deferral.
The donation deferral is due to a seasonal epidemic of the West Nile virus, and the deferral will begin from the date of return to Finland.
At other times of the year, travelling in Croatia does not constitute a separate obstacle to donating blood.
