As of the latest update by the Greek authorities, the total number of confirmed Covid-19 diagnosed cases in Greece 2,454,429. 57 new deaths were reported raising the total number to 25,972. The number of patients treated in intensive care units is currently 399. 15,557 new cases were announced yesterday in Greece. 5,442 of the new cases were found in the Attica region and 1,586 new cases in the Thessaloniki region.
Greece will lift its requirement of mask-wearing outdoors from Saturday, its health minister said on Wednesday, as Covid-19 infections are trending lower.
The advisory committee of infectious disease experts recommended the lifting and the government accepted the recommendation, Health Minister Thanos Plevris said.
“But it is highly recommended to wear masks outdoors when there is a lot of crowding,” he said.
The move comes after the lifting of curbs that barred standing customers at bars and night entertainment establishments earlier this month and the resumption of school excursions.
Greek health authorities announced 15,557 new Covid-19 cases and 57 virus-related deaths in their daily briefing on Wednesday. The National Organization for Public Health (EODY) also stated that intubated patients in Greece eased below the 400 milestone, with 399 people being currently treated in Intensive Care Units.
