Greek experts are concerned about the increased incidence of covid and call on those returning from summer vacations to strictly abide by the measures. The goal is to stop the rapid spread of the coronavirus at a time when the Delta mutation appears to be dominant.
On Tuesday, EODY report data raised serious alarm again after 4,206 new cases were announced in 24 hours, with some areas highlighted in red and those in charge left a “window” open for emergency action where needed ( local lockdown).
The opinion of the researcher from the USA George Pavlakis is indicative: “The delta mutation should be considered as a new virus. It is transmitted in the blink of an eye and can only be stopped by quarantine. “
However, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis clarified a few days ago that there will no longer be quarantine in the country (in the same way it was a year ago), so any measures taken in the future will be local in nature.
Where there is an unfavorable epidemiological situation
With the exception of Lassithi, the coronavirus is spreading rapidly in Crete. At the same time, other regions of the country are causing concern among experts, for example, the Peloponnese, Achaia and Messinia, where there is a gradual increase in cases of the disease. At the same time, Elijah, Corinth and Laconia are also close to this.
Evia, Kozani, Kavala, Larissa, Etoloakarnania, Evros stand out from mainland Greece. At the same time, an increase in viral load is observed in Ioannina. It is noted that in the above areas, the possibility of taking emergency measures has not yet been discussed, but their epidemiological picture is being systematically studied.
The likelihood of local blockages is especially high on some islands of the country with low vaccination coverage of the population, these are:
Rhodes, Lesvos, Naxos, Chios.
There, the vaccination rate ranges from 45% to 56%. As for the situation in Athens and Thessaloniki, it remains stable, but at a high level. According to the EODY report, 969 cases were detected in Athens on Tuesday, and 323 cases in Thessaloniki.
