EODY President Theoclis Zautis said in the Ant1 newsletter: “After the New Year, a fairly large peak in incidence is expected.”
He confirmed that 54 cases of infection with the Omicron strain have been officially registered in Greece. Another 154 are under consideration, however, with a high degree of probability, they will be positive for the new variant of the coronavirus.
Mr Zautis said the Omicron mutation is 2–3 times more infectious than Delta, and “it is very likely to see many more cases.” The EODY President recalled that the new option poses a serious threat to the unvaccinated: vaccinated people get sick less and not as badly as those who did not receive the vaccine. Regarding Omicron’s symptoms, he said it was like a cold: with a runny nose, sore throat, cough, fever and headache.
