As of the latest update by the Greek authorities, the total number of confirmed Covid-19 diagnosed cases in Greece is 168,872. 22 new deaths were reported raising the total number to 6,056. The number of patients treated in intensive care units is currently 281. 1,327 new cases were announced yesterday in Greece. 676 of the new cases were found in the Attica region and 129 new cases in the Thessaloniki region.
The committee of health experts advising the government is due to meet today to discuss whether to recommend tighter restrictions for Thessaloniki and Achaia. A stricter lockdown may also be imposed on the region of Rethymno in Crete.
The status of the Greek capital, meanwhile, went from orange to red on the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control’s map of coronavirus transmission, as Athens University professor of analytical chemistry Nikolaos Thomaidis warned there may be as many as 80,000 to 90,000 symptomatic or asymptomatic carriers of SARS-CoV-2 in the region, based on his team’s sewage analysis.
Thessaloniki is also on tenterhooks, though the possibility of a total lockdown was not discussed in so many words by Health Minister Vassilis Kikilias, who toured its public hospitals on Thursday. Mayor Konstantinos Zervas was more outspoken about the situation in his city, urging the government to at least close schools, citing EODY data that showed that 8.5-11% of new cases in recent days concern children under the age of 12.
