Although EODY announced 170 new coronavirus infections on Sunday, a significantly lower number than on Saturday (240) and Friday (339), the increase in patients admitted to the ICU is cause for concern.

All this while starting tomorrow, Monday, new strict measures will be implemented in Attica to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
