Concerns about the spread of the coronavirus have led to an increase in cases in many parts of the country.
Infectious disease specialists are particularly concerned about the increase in the death toll from the coronavirus, as the death toll has risen to 65 since the beginning of October.
Apart from Attica, which remains at the center of the pandemic wave in Greece, an alarm has sounded for the Kozani area as well as for the Ioannina and Pella areas, where dozens of new patient cases have been identified.
Infectious disease specialist Gikas Majorkinis warned that October will be a difficult month as the temperature drops and we are slowly entering enclosed spaces. “We should be very moderate optimism about whether it will stabilize or if we can see a small increase that we are avoiding,” he said. “Right now, if we stay at this level, we are fine.” And we should be optimistic that we will remain at this level. “
