Extremely worrying are the data of admissions that took place yesterday in two hospitals of reference for the coronavirus in Athens, those of “Evangelismos” and “Sotiria”.
According to these data, 50% of the admissions that occurred on Thursday in both hospitals have to do with foreigners (Pakistanis, Afghans, etc.) who live in apartments or hotel rooms in certain areas of the capital. This is an issue of great concern to the authorities, since the way these people live generates small outbreaks of the virus themselves, and then as carriers they can spread it to the neighborhoods where they live and frequent.
Also, another drawback is that in the case of these people, tracing their contacts is much more difficult and with many “gaps”, which means that the virus may have spread, without even being able to be sure who they have come into contact with.
In any case, Athens, which has been accumulating a large number of cases since mid-August, is now acquiring, with these new data, an additional problem.
In the “red” Pella, Pieria and Lesbos
Pella, Pieria and Lesbos are the regions of the country that received the highest viral load and therefore the highest epidemiological impact in the last ten days, as reflected in the number of confirmed cases of coronavirus.
According to data from today’s epidemiological report from the National Public Health Organization (EODY), in the three specific regional units since the beginning of the month more than 50 positive cases per 100,000 inhabitants were registered, which gives them the three positions of … negative pedestal in the current phase of the epidemic.
In some parts of Macedonia, the frenzied transmission of the coronavirus started from the fruit processing plant in Giannitsa, Pella, as the hundreds of workers are said to come from neighboring prefectures in Pella. In Lesbos, the situation escaped due to the cases that were confirmed in the now destroyed refugee and immigrant camp in Moria.
However, the circulation of the coronavirus is dynamic in 14 other regional units of the country, where there are sustained records of 10 to 49 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the last 10 days, which places them in second place for epidemiological burden. These are the following regional units: Kilkis, Thessaloniki, Imathia, Kozani, Kastoria, Ioannina, Grevena, Trikala, Karditsa, Attica, Cyclades, Rethymno, Heraklion, Zakynthos.
The epidemic is spreading rapidly in some of these areas, which means it may take a few days for them to move from one ranking position to another. For example, Attica, Kozani, Ioannina, are close to changing epidemiological category and entering the areas of the map that are epidemiologically red.
The coronavirus is circulating at a slower rate and therefore with less impact on the population in 12 regions of the country. In particular, in the regional units of Serres, Drama, Halkidiki, Larissa, Lefkada, Etoloakarnania, Evritania, Fthiotida, Boeotia, Evia, Chania and Rhodes, 5-9 cases of coronavirus are registered per 100,000 inhabitants.
Finally, there are 18 areas where the coronavirus has not made its appearance especially noticeable. They register less than four cases of coronavirus for every 100,000 inhabitants.
The “coronavirus free” areas are found in Thrace (Alexandroupoli, Komotini, Xanthi), Kavala, in the seven regional units of the Peloponnese, Epirus (Thesprotia, Arta, Preveza), Florina, Magnesia, Fokida and L.
In total, 287 new cases of coronavirus were announced today, of which 43 are associated with known outbreaks and 15 were detected after controls at the country’s gateways.
The total number of cases is 12,734, of which 55.4% are men. The 2,340 cases (18.4%) are considered to be related to trips from abroad and the 5,601 (44.0%) are related to an already known case.
The impact is great in terms of severe hospitalization and ultimately intubation of patients due to Covid-19 infection.
In 48 hours, the list of intubated people increased by 6 people. Today, 52 patients are treated by intubation. Their average age is 70 years. Of these, 11 (21.2%) are women and the rest are men. 88.5% of intubated patients have an underlying disease or are 70 years or older.
