As of the latest update by the Greek authorities, the total number of confirmed Covid-19 diagnosed cases in Greece 2,421,664. 70 new deaths were reported raising the total number to 25,860. The number of patients treated in intensive care units is currently 413. 16,274 new cases were announced yesterday in Greece. 5,599 of the new cases were found in the Attica region and 1,636 new cases in the Thessaloniki region.
Appointments for the Novavax coronavirus vaccine will become available on the emvolio.goc.gr platform on Tuesday, the general secretary for primary healthcare, Marios Themistokleous, has announced.
Speaking at the Health Ministry’s daily briefing on Monday afternoon, the government official said that first vaccinations with Novavax’s Nuvaxovid vaccine will take place on March 5, after the manufacturer said delivery to Greece will be fulfilled on Wednesday.
Nuvaxovid is only available for people who are not inoculated against SARS-CoV-2, Themistokleous said, clarifying that it cannot be used as a booster.
On the country’s ongoing national vaccination drive, Themistokleous said that over 7.53 million citizens have completed their vaccination (at least two shots), which corresponds to 82.7% of the adult population and 71.7% of the general one.
Saturday marked the second anniversary of the first case of the coronavirus in Greece and people have been longing for a return to normalcy.
But experts warn that while the end of the acute phase of the pandemic is near – for the vaccinated, that is – the much-desired “normalcy” will simply mean that each person will be able to make their own decisions on whether to wear a mask, depending on the places they visit, or attend a gathering of many people, depending on their own health and that of those close to them.
The virus will not magically disappear, but will continue to mutate and sometimes lead to case spikes. The emergency, in a sense, is lasting and what matters is that we never forget the lessons, and the alertness, of these two years, the experts say.
And, crucially, a quarter of the population remain unvaccinated, while just over half have received a booster shot.
