The epidemic continues to be led by young people, since cases between 18 and 39 years old already exceed 43% of the total.
More reassuring are the milder symptoms that young people show and, of course, the fewest deaths at these ages.
The solar characteristics speak for themselves, as the 19-40 age group maintains a greater momentum.
Young people drag the dance of the pandemic
People ages 19 to 40 are infected up to twice as easily at this stage as some of the other age groups, so their participation in diagnoses is higher than expected.
The rest of the groups remain at much lower epidemic levels, maintaining the gap observed last week.
“At this stage, this age group must be very careful not to consider themselves invulnerable, to use the mask to avoid synchronicity and protect the most vulnerable sectors of the population,” Professor Gigas said yesterday in a statement. Majorkinis.
However, what worries experts is the fact that young people easily transmit the coronavirus, especially to the older age groups.
170 deaths in people over 65 in one month
Although the coronavirus has been hitting the young lately, as the incidence in the age group over 65 has declined, this does not mean that the elderly are out of the woods.
This is also shown by the statistics of recent victims.
It is characteristic that only in the last month 170 elderly people lost the battle against the coronavirus.
Specifically, of the 289 deaths recorded in September by EODY at 65+, yesterday (10/23) -one month later- they reached 459. That is, 459 of a total of 559 fatal cases throughout the country.
Now it is clear that the elderly are not easily infected as they are very careful, however those who end up with coronavirus belong mainly to this age group. 
“The vast majority of the elderly have been infected after contact with younger age groups,” said Nikos Hardalias, Deputy Minister of Civil Protection, during yesterday’s information session on the coronavirus at the Ministry of Health.
As he said, the follow-up of cases has shown that the virus is transmitted from generation to generation, that is, from the smallest in the family to the oldest.
“For us, attractiveness is attractiveness to young people. They have to be very careful. “Obviously, these youth elements are also related to entertainment, this is reality and synchronicity,” said Mr. Hardalias.
40% increase in diagnoses in Attica
At the same time, Attica showed an increase in diagnoses by approximately 40% compared to the last week, in contrast to the slight decrease and stabilization observed in the previous weeks. However, it should be noted that the number of tests in the capital has also increased recently.
“Although it seems that the percentage it shows in the total diagnoses in the country has decreased, occupying about 1/3 of the new diagnoses, we should not interpret this point as an improvement in the situation. This is due to the fact that the rise outside Attica has more intense characteristics ”, highlighted Mr. Majorkinis. 
Attica and Thessaloniki are in “red” for another day with 290 and 197 new cases respectively. Great concern for Serres and Larissa where 35 and 25 new infections were found respectively.
