In expected levels moved the number of new cases today, as 241 were reported, of which 210 national and 31 imported. Yesterday Wednesday, 233 out of 207 were reported to be permanent residents of Greece.
Today, most of the cases, 118 were located in the Attica region and only 12 in Thessaloniki region, while yesterday 87 and 17 were reported respectively.
Today’s cases are lower than last Thursday, which was 259 (228 domestic). In general, the evolution of the current week so far is evolving epidemiologically more smoothly since from Monday to today they have been registered, they have been registered in total 864 new cases, while in the four corresponding days last week 890 were reported.
The numerical difference may be small, but in areas where restrictive measures are applied, the epidemic shows signs of recession. A typical example this week is Halkidiki, which is consistently below 2 cases per day, as well as Cyclades and Zakynthos. Instead, Imathia, Heraklion, Pella, Kozani and Lesbos still have significant viral load levels. Of course, it should be noted that in Heraklion and Lesbos the restrictive measures are valid for a shorter period, so it takes time to judge whether they worked or not.
Unfortunately, Attica is particularly concerned experts as this week still reports a high number of cases, from 80 onwards. Today for example the 118 new cases it is more than half of the 210 national cases. This, of course, is a function of the population of the Basin, which brings together more than 4 million people, but on the other hand, it also “photographs” the difficulty of controlling compliance with restrictive measures. The phenomenon of gatherings in open spaces outside the opening hours of stores is frequent, while the previous weekends the beaches of Attica were flooded with people, without always keeping distances.
Cases thicken in closed structures
The focused controls of your mobile devices National Public Health Organization (EODY) but also other organizations, such as the Attica Medical College, in closed structures in the last three days new outbreaks of coronavirus have emerged.
After the nursing home “I Megalohari” in Moschato, where he has been quarantined after the detection of a positive nurse for the new coronavirus, yesterday 18 cases were detected in Cantaurea nursing home, while today it signaled an alarm in the structure welcoming the homeless from Athens City Council where a positive case was identified.
Finally, a little earlier tonight it became known that the housing structure of immigrants in Inofyta He was quarantined due to 2 positive cases. It should be noted that the reception structure for unaccompanied minors in Byron is also under quarantine, where 30 positive cases have been identified (in 22 guests and 8 employees), while extensive tests are carried out at the Moria Reception and Identification Center, Lesbos, after detecting a positive case. .
Widespread spread of the virus in the community
The closed structures, which in the first phase of the epidemic had remained relatively intact (cases had been reported in Clinic “Taxiarchai” in Peristeri where they lost their lives 13 persons and at the “Ev zin” nursing home in Nea Makri), are now proving to be a real headache for scientists.
This reflects the widespread spread of the coronavirus in the community and what all the members of the Coronavirus Expert Committee of the Ministry of Health have repeatedly emphasized that young people, generally asymptomatic, transmit the virus without knowing it to the community.
So it turns out that a small number of virus carriers You can pass it on to many people when the right conditions are found. And the epidemic in the youth age group is not “closed”. From the frequency of the cases, it seems that it can broadcast to the older age groups at any time with dramatic consequences.
In fact, most of the patients who have lost their lives in recent days due to complications from COVID-19 are elderly with serious underlying diseases, housed in both nursing homes and people living in the community.
