ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece on Tuesday announced temporary measures to support workers on its popular tourism island of Santorini as earthquakes rattled the island for a second week.

Thousands of earthquakes measuring up to 5.3 magnitude have been recorded in the Aegean Sea off Santorini since February 1, prompting authorities to declare it in a state of emergency for at least a month.
