Experts’ fears of an explosion in epidemiological indicators were confirmed after the alarming general report of the National Public Health Organization (EODY) for today.
Despite the expected peak, experts and government officials place the reopening of economic activities and school degrees on the immediate horizon, once the desired decrease in epidemiological indicators is achieved and the health system is decongest with significant participation from the private sector and private sector participation. Dispersion .
More than 400 entries, about 500 intubated
Repeat it last november show epidemiological data, so new cases were broken the 3,000 barrier with 3,316 on the 12th and 3,227 on the 19th of the month. Intubations had risen from 480 to 519 in two days (November 18-20) and about two weeks later, on December 1 and 3, the death toll had reached 111 and 100 respectively.
The hard indicators return the pandemic to the traces of the recent past with all that saves imports, NSS stress and deaths in 15 days. the intubation It almost doubled in a month (277 to 484 today) and experts estimate that this week they are expected to increase by 200.
In 24 hours they were carried out 402 admissions of patients with COVID-19 in the country’s hospitals, setting the number of hospitalizations at 3,758, of which 960 in Intensive Care Units, Intensive Care, Special Infections.
With strategic moves, the government is trying to respond alarm what the country’s health system has meant and especially Attica, which once again received almost half of the new patients in its hospitals (more than 216).
A key role in rescuing the suffocating NSS will be played by Private sector, with the memorandum of cooperation signed on March 5 between EOPYY, the General Secretariat of Health Services, the administrations of the 1st and 2nd Attica Health District (YPE) and the Association of Greek Clinics stipulating that non-COVID cases of the NSS beds will be treated in private clinics (after a negative coronavirus test) to evacuate an equal number of beds in Public Hospitals, according to the plan of the Ministry of Health.

Deaths from COVID-19 to date have reached 46.
The country is “red” except for 7 regional units.
The negative record of 3,215 daily cases for 2021 was registered after a very high number of tests (60,038), with 37,168 rapid and only 22,870 molecular tests that more clearly capture the panorama of the pandemic in the country. However, the uncontrolled spread of the virus is confirmed both by the suffocating pressure in the NSS and by data on the viral load of SARS-CoV-2 in urban wastewater. In accordance with National Network of Wastewater Epidemiology From EODY, the growth trends for the week of March 1-7, 2021 were a common element in most areas.
THE Attica remains in the vortex of the coronavirus and its mutant strains, with a record of new diagnoses in 1,572 and the Center as well as Piraeus evolving into health bombs with 431 and 301 new cases respectively. Apart from the 24 cases in the islands and the 80 in western Attica (which on a population basis, however, increase their burden to 49.71), the other peripheral units of the basin are boiling in triple digits: 264 in the western sector of Athens, 169 in the north and 145 in the south and 158 in the east of Attica. The viral load in the basin effluent increased by 15%.

THE Acaya boils with 149 new diagnoses and a 10% increase in the virus in Patras sewage along with Corinth, Argolis and Arcadia (47, 28 and 15 new cases respectively) are the red areas of the Peloponnese on today’s epidemiological map. On the contrary, Laconia, Messinia and Ilia are the 3 of the 7 regional units that are in orange with the districts of Arta, Lassithi, Preveza and Kefallinia.
Jumping to new diagnoses is done by Larissa 102 (12% increase in urban wastewater) and Kozani (49), for which the deputy minister of Civil Protection, Nikos Hardalias, rang the bell, but events such as the overcrowding in the sanctuary of Saints Constantine and Elena, attest to La warning probably didn’t put off residents.
Finally, the pandemic seems to break out in HERACLION, Crete with 48 new infections and an increase in wastewater of up to + 128% in the last week, while registering an epidemiological increase Lesbos (22 new cases), Phthiotide (31), Chalkidiki (46), Evrytania (19) and Boeotia (33).
