Three more earthquakes have occurred near the Greek island of Santorini, causing continuing concern in the tourist hotspot. Residents of neighbouring Amorgos remain on high alert after today’s tremors, which followed a moderate 5.0 magnitude earthquake between the islands last evening.

A state of emergency will remain in place in Santorini until at least 3 March. Schools will remain closed on Santorini, Amorgos, and several other islands today and tomorrow.

No injuries have been reported as a result of the earthquakes, which have numbered in the thousands since 26 January, but more than 11,000 people have left the islands. The area has been rocked by seismic activity for the last two weeks, and experts have not ruled out a major earthquake.
