The optimism brought about by the stabilization presented by Attica in the last hours came to “turn off” the dramatic increase in the number of intubated patients, with our country registering a new negative registry with 98 patients in the ICU.
Naturally, the increase in the number of intubated patients has alerted the authorities, who are reinforcing the ICU with new beds, while increasing the structures that house patients infected with the deadly virus. However, the number of severe coronavirus cases is increasing. The previous registry of patients with the deadly virus in the ICU was registered in April and was 93. This figure has caused alarm at first, after scientists had set 100 as the limit for ICU coverage by patients with coronavirus .
At the same time, with the pandemic rapidly spreading in the country, the government introduced the Coronavirus Health Protection and Safety Charter, in order to better deal with the deadly virus.
As Nikos Hardalias explained during today’s information session on the coronavirus, in this second phase of the pandemic in the country, local measures are implemented focused on the safe and smooth continuity of economic and social life, which will come into effect according to the level. , in which the area will be located.

This map includes four levels of precautionary measures and rules for each regional unit in the country. These will be classified based on the four colors: green, yellow, orange and red.
It should be noted that – so far – there is no red zone, that is, at the highest level of alarm and concern.

Determining the level of risk in each area depends on the increasing or decreasing trend of the epidemiological variables, such as the number of cases per 100,000 inhabitants, the indicators of completeness of the Health system (eg, used individual beds and beds in Care Units). Intensive) and the qualitative characteristics of the epidemiological situation, as reflected in the follow-up data.
The geographical reference and implementation of the measures is carried out at the regional unit level, unless exceptional circumstances arise, according to the protocols of the Ministry of Health and Civil Protection, which justify exceptions at the local level within the regional unit.

Hardals: Attica is far from level 4
However, one of the areas located in the “eye” of the coronavirus is Attica. However, according to the Minister of Civil Protection, the Basin is still far from level 4
Answering questions from journalists about whether Attica is in danger of entering level 4, Nikos Hardalias said the situation has now been streamlined for Attica. Based on current epidemiological data, we are far from reaching level 4, he characteristically said. He also mentioned that for levels 1-2-3 there is a strong recommendation for an outdoor mask. “If we go to level 4, it will be mandatory to use them outdoors.”
Finally, regarding the meeting in front of the Court of Appeals for the Golden Dawn trial and if he is concerned that so many people are gathered, the Vice Minister of Civil Protection said: “Yes, I was concerned about the image in the Court of Appeals. I understand the intention of the citizens but I feel that this can generate a small or a big bang. “
Bell for the ICU in Attica
At the same time, the resilience of the health system in Attica is being tested by the coronavirus, which remains the focus of the pandemic in the country.
Day by day the health system is increasingly under pressure as the number of patients in the hospitals and Intensive Care Units of the Basin increases.
The number of people in the ICU is approaching the April levels, causing great concern to scientists, who see the panorama of the coronavirus pandemic in our country deteriorating.
As Gikas Majorkinis, Professor of Clinical Virology at the University of Athens Faculty of Medicine, said during the pandemic briefing, in April the number of intubated was 93. 
Regarding the number of beds available, Mr. Majorkinis referred to the health insurance map presented today. He noted that there are signs of stabilization from the Attica pandemic, but was quick to emphasize that we need another week to say this for sure.
For his part, Kontozomanis said that emergencies and emergencies will not stop surgeries as happened in the first wave of the pandemic.
There is not a rapid increase, but an increase, said Mr. Kontozomanis, saying that at the moment, of the 122 beds available, 94 are occupied. “Depending on development, we will redistribute our forces,” he said.
According to current EODY data, 98 people are hospitalized for intubation. Their average age is 68 years. 27 (27.6%) are women and the rest are men. 90.8% of intubated patients have an underlying disease or are 70 years or older. 237 patients have been discharged from the ICU.
