corona virus

As of the latest update by the Greek authorities, the total number of confirmed Covid-19 diagnosed cases in Greece 501,030. 14 new deaths were reported raising the total number to 12,997. The number of patients treated in intensive care units is currently 191. 3,428 new cases were announced yesterday in Greece. 1,168 of the new cases were found in the Attica region and 316 new cases in the Thessaloniki region.

The holiday month of August has brought with it a significant decline in the Covid-19 vaccination rate. Indicatively on Monday, about 45,000 vaccinations were administered nationwide, compared to an average of 60,000 to 70,000 in the previous two weeks. 

At the same time, the Health Ministry is launching a vaccination program for hotel employees. The program will seek to make it easier for employees at large hotel units to get their shots.

Depending on the number of staff interested in getting vaccinated, either mobile teams will be sent to inoculate them at their place of work or there will be coordination with vaccination centers so they can get their shots at their convenience.

The first 12-year-old to receive the shot against the coronavirus in Greece was vaccinated in Didymoteicho, in Thrace, on Tuesday.

According to a post his father made on Facebook, the boy wanted to send a message to all those who are hesitant about the vaccine to go out and get the shot.

His father noted that the family takes care of the boy’s grandparents, who have been vaccinated but have underlying health conditions. That’s why, he wrote, it was important for every member of the family to get the shot, even the youngest.
