The EODY team goes to Mount Athos for testing and fears of spreading the virus are expressed.
Under the microscope of specialists in infectious diseases is Mount Athos after the announcement that there are at least ten cases in monasteries and hermitages.
A group of EODY go to Mount Athos to carry out the tests and the spread of the virus is feared since, despite the fact that Mount Athos closed its doors to pilgrims for some time, it seems that the protection measures taken were not sufficient or they were not observed with reverence.
The Encounter of the Sacred Community in Karyes will meet on Tuesday (09/22) to assess the situation. The community has reduced the number of pilgrims to Mount Athos, and when they leave the ports of Ouranoupolis and Ierissos, they carry a thermometer.
Eight confirmed cases were found in the Holy Monastery of Agios Pavlos, which was quarantined, while at least one case was found in the Helandari monastery and another in Lakoskiti. One monk was taken in critical condition to a hospital in Thessaloniki, while the others are milder.
Specifically, the 85-year-old monk from Mount Athos, who tested positive for the coronavirus, is being treated at the Papanikolaou Hospital in Thessaloniki, after he developed symptoms while at the Agios Pavlos monastery.
It should be noted that the infectious disease specialist and representative of the Ministry of Health, Sotiris Tsiodras, would have shown a special interest in the 85-year-old monk, who, according to the same information, contacted the hospital, asking to be informed about the evolution of his Health. .
