As of the latest update by the Greek authorities, the total number of confirmed Covid-19 diagnosed cases in Greece is 192,270. 30 new deaths were reported raising the total number to 6,534. The number of patients treated in intensive care units is currently 406. 1,176 new cases were announced yesterday in Greece. 553 of the new cases were found in the Attica region and 111 new cases in the Thessaloniki region.
Health officials in Greece are concerned about the strain on the nation’s hospitals after the number of intubated patients with Covid-19 reached 406 on Monday, 15 more than those recorded on Sunday. This is the first time since early January that intubations in the country have surpassed 400, indicating increased pressure on Greek hospitals as cases continue to rise and more patients require the intensive and invasive treatment.
Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis indicated on Friday that the national lockdown will be eased in two weeks, if Greeks continue to follow the country’s strict anti-virus measures. The lockdown in Greece, imposed to help stem the spread of the coronavirus across the country, will gradually ease in two weeks, Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis signaled on Monday.
In a video conference concerning the donation of 18 mobile ICUs to the public sector from the Greece 2021 Committee, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Monday noted that the end of the coronavirus crisis was now in sight. He added however, that “how quickly we reach it depends on taking careful steps in the final straight.” Mitsotakis stressed that it was essential to make one final effort, especially in the next two weeks, before the economy and education can return to more normal rhythms. While acknowledging that the health system was under pressure, especially in Attica, he appeared confident that this was being handled well.
