[ad_1]

In particular, according to the information, on Thursday evening 4,080 patients are admitted to Covid-19 beds generally in the country. From them, 530 are hospitalized in ICU beds of which 505 are intubated.

These data follow those announced by EODY at 6:00 p.m., according to which the number of intubated was 499. It is observed that today 3,227 new cases were notified (the total number of cases is 85,261) and 59 deaths (1,347 deaths in total in country).

Private Clinic Order

When the public health system goes “red”, the Ministry of Health turned to private clinics, requesting the availability of 200 beds in an hour.

However, Vassilis Kikilias’ ultimatum ended ingloriously, as none of the representatives from the 10 clinics responded positively.

According to the president of PEIK (Panhellenic Association of Private Clinics) Grigoris Sarafianos, with whom he contacted CNN Greece“Our negative answer does not hide analgesia, but awareness of the serious condition. Private clinics and all their medical staff do not have the experience of the NSS, to be able to treat cases with coronavirus, therefore whatever happens, that is, if there is spread of the virus (as these clinics treat people without coronavirus) , is likely to lead to criminal and civil liability to the detriment of companies. In addition, the cost of a hospitalization for COVID-19 is very high, adds the president of PEIK ”.

The next step, as everything shows, is the Ministry of Health, yes order private clinics, but this means they must make up for. This, as noted in CNN Greece the Secretary General of the Ministry Mr. Giannis Kotsiopoulos, planned and has already been legislated by the Ministry of Health.
