As of the latest update by the Greek authorities yesterday, the total number of confirmed Covid-19 diagnosed cases in Greece is 6,381. 5 new deaths were reported raising the total number to 221. The number of patients treated in intensive care units stands at 22.

There was a total of 204 cases of the coronavirus detected throughout the country in the last day, marking a continuation of a new upward trend. Only 12 of these were diagnosed at the country’s borders and other points of entry and eleven more came about as a result of voluntary testing.

A Thessaloniki prosecutor has ordered an investigation into the retirement home in Asvestochori, a small town on the outskirts of Thessaloniki, where 33 residents and three staff members have tested positive for Covid-19. The residents of the facility were hospitalized on Wednesday, most with mild symptoms.

According to the government’s chief epidemiologist Sotiris Tsiodras, the virus is believed to have been spread by a staff member who caught it from a relative who had recently attended a concert. The probe into the exact circumstances of the transmission was ordered by the chief of the northern city’s court of first instance, Stefanos Zarkantzias.

The Vial migrant reception center on Chios has been put under full lockdown until August 25 after a 35-year-old man from Yemen and a female employee of the facility tested positive for the coronavirus.
