As of the latest update by the Greek authorities, the total number of confirmed Covid-19 diagnosed cases in Greece 2,216,411. 77 new deaths were reported raising the total number to 24,917. The number of patients treated in intensive care units is currently 489. 21,412 new cases were announced yesterday in Greece. 6,272 of the new cases were found in the Attica region and 2,375 new cases in the Thessaloniki region.

With European member-states seeking to relax coronavirus measures by March, more freedoms for those who are fully vaccinated are set to be discussed on Wednesday by Health Minister Thanos Plevris and the committee of experts advising the government.

They will discuss a further relaxation of restrictions in catering and entertainment, an increase in capacities at sports facilities, conferences and on school trips, depending on the course of epidemiological indicators.

The experts will reportedly consider allowing standing customers in closed entertainment venues which they can access with the presentation of a vaccination certificate.

With regard to the Carnival, the committee of experts are reportedly opposed to parades as they are considered events of high transmission. However, they are expected to discuss the possibility of festive events involving dancing being held indoors only for the vaccinated.

Greek Health Minister Thanos Plevris has tested positive for Covid-19, he said in a post on social media Sunday.

Plevris follows current recommendations and will carry out his work from home, he said.
