As the figures show, the coronavirus outbreak in Greece is on the rise, and EODY today announces the second highest number of daily cases in our country, since the start of the pandemic.
However, it is not the 312 cases in the last 24 hours that scare scientists, but the fact that one more day, more than 50% of them were located in Attica. At the same time, the fact that the beds of the coronavirus clinics in Attica hospitals fill up day by day also causes headaches.
It is observed that about 60% of the beds are covered. Specifically, more than 500 patients are hospitalized in Athens. Of these, 349 in clinics with mild symptoms and 162 more severe cases.
Epidemiologists have now sounded the alarm for Attica, noting that cases are increasing very fast. The government is giving a 10-day margin to determine if the measures implemented since dawn are in numbers. If this does not happen, the government will press the button to take even stricter measures, now leaving open the possibility of a blockade.
Indicative are the statements made by the head of the UCI Coordination and Development Committee, Anastasia Kotanidou, in statements to MEGA. Specifically, when asked about the possibility of “blocking” the health system, in case the measures taken by the government do not work, she pointed out that this depends on whether the citizens implement the measures that have already been taken.
“The lockdown of intensive care units for the coronavirus depends on whether we will adhere to the measures that we have taken for so long,” he stressed. “Taking further action and not adhering to what already exists is a free gift,” he added.
However, he noted that the age distribution of cases has increased, noting that this was something that experts had pointed out from the get-go. “Currently, the cases are shared between people 35 to 45 and 65 to 80 years.”
“Currently, the majority of patients admitted to the ICU are older than 65 years. “There was a time when we had younger people in the Units who were doing well and now we have an increase in the age limit,” he emphasized.
Finally, he drew attention to the implementation of the measures. “Let us adhere to the existing measures and we will see in the course if additional ones will be necessary.”
Referral hospitals are under the most pressure: Evangelismos and Sotiria are in the red. In the largest hospital in the country, 18 people in the intensive care unit, while the Sotiria unit is completed with 12 patients fighting for their lives.
The only ally is good weather, but it can quickly become the worst enemy, causing “heart attacks” in hospitals. The drop in temperature and the presence of the flu will soon push hospitals to the limit.
There are dozens of calls received by EKAB. Of the approximately 500 cases reported to hospitals daily, 50-60 are related to patients with coronary heart disease.
At the same time, dozens of doctors and nurses fall ill every day and their colleagues are in quarantine. In one month, 172 health workers tested positive and 105 of them were asymptomatic. Within hours, a doctor tested positive for Evangelismos and a nurse from the Red Cross cardiology unit, while a Thriasio worker was treated with severe symptoms.
Two other colleagues have fallen ill and seven are in quarantine.

Geographic dispersion
The map shows the geographical distribution of total COVID-19 cases (since the beginning of the epidemic) by Regional Unit of the country, based on the declared address of permanent residence of the patient, or the address of temporary residence for tourists and others temporary residents in Greece. It includes both cases with a travel history (“imported”) and cases with possible national transmission.
