On the night of November 20, local time, the latest epidemic report issued by the Greek Ministry of Health indicated that in the last 24 hours, Greece had added 2,581 confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia, of which 38 were imported.

Larissa, Pera, Delama, Imacia, Magnesia, Ceres and Pieria all experienced triple digit growth. This has brought uncertainty to the development of the Greek epidemic in the future.
Grigorios Sarafianos, president of the Greek Association of Private Clinics, said in an interview on the 20th that nine private clinics in Thessaloniki have indicated that they can receive a total of 1,000 patients to reduce pressure on public hospitals. However, these clinics are not yet ready to establish a new ward dedicated to the crown.

Currently, the Greek health agency is cooperating with the National Railway Operation Company (TRAINOSE) to modify a train to meet the standards for the specific transport of COVID-19 cases. This train has a total of 6 wagons. Once the modification is complete, each car can hold 30 to 40 stretchers. After commissioning, this train will be used especially to transport non-serious cases of new coronary pneumonia in Thessaloniki to Athens for treatment.
At present, the number of remaining intensive care units throughout Greece is also low. According to a report from the Greek Ministry of Health, there are a total of 1,220 intensive care beds in public hospitals across the country, of which only 220 are available as spare.

The Greek government spokesman, Pechas, said on the 20th that from the current situation it seems difficult to unblock him from December 1. The government has not set a specific time for the unlocking, but it is certain that it will gradually unlock it in December to return social and economic activities to normal. He stressed that, sadly, in the first week after the full shutdown, surveillance was relaxed, causing the number of new cases to rise again. The current priority is to control the spread of the virus. (Headquarters reporter Wang Yuguo)
