As of the latest update by the Greek authorities, the total number of confirmed Covid-19 diagnosed cases in Greece 3,009,333. 60 new deaths were reported raising the total number to 27,454. The number of patients treated in intensive care units is currently 348. 22,451 new cases were announced yesterday in Greece. 8,453 of the new cases were found in the Attica region and 2,191 new cases in the Thessaloniki region.
A panel of experts advising the government on the Covid-19 pandemic has decided against any further relaxation of the measures to prevent the spread of the virus before May, in its meeting on Wednesday.
The Greek government has been eager to lift more restrictions ahead of summer, with news reports saying that these include the abolition of the vaccination certificates, however, a rising number of infections and intubations in the country prohibits such a move before May, according to the experts.
The panel also discussed the access of the unvaccinated to restaurants and bars, but also the abolition of the obligation to show a negative rapid test when entering retail stores. As for the use of face masks, it is expected to be abolished in most closed venues, however it will probably be kept in some “high risk” areas, such as hospitals, public transport and supermarkets.
A mew meeting is expected next week to focus on a timeframe on face masks as well as the duration of quarantine for those infected with coronavirus.
The obligation of citizens over 60 years of age to be vaccinated is being suspended, according to an amendment submitted on Wednesday by the Health Ministry.
Health Minister Thanos Plevris said the fines are being suspended as the specific measure had been imposed at the time because this category of people were burdening the National Health System.
Plevris said the ministry is mulling ways to motivate people over 60 to get vaccinated. He also reiterated that all repealed measures to contain the spread of the coronavirus will be reviewed at the appropriate time
