Another record was broken by the daily number of cases in our country, which reached 453, including 184 from the KYT in Kara Tepe on Lesbos. In addition, today 6 of our fellow citizens lost their lives due to Covid-19, while the number of intubated patients increased by one: 79.
As the number of new infections increases, the next fifteen days are considered very critical.
Although officially rejected by government officials, the possibility of a shutdown remains on the table. The scientific community is very concerned about the spread of the virus in the country’s largest region, Attica, which currently has 174 new infections, while throughout the country the numbers remain in the triple digits.
