Greece: over 120,000 coronavirus cases, deaths rise to 355

Greek health authorities announced on Tuesday 122 230 confirmed cases of coronavirus for the week of July 25-31, 2022. In the same time period, 355 Covid patients have died, according to a weekly report from the National Public Health Organization (EODY).

The number of intubated Covid patients is 138.

The total number of confirmed cases of infection since the beginning of the pandemic is 4,474,616, of which 52.18% are women.

Compared to the weekly coronavirus bulletin a week before:
  • 125,193 cases (daily average: 17,884, weekly change 11%, reinfection 20%).
  • 378 deaths (54 per day), an increase of 29%
  • 138 intubated (up 4.5%)
  • 2558 hospitalizations (average 365 per day)
  • Significant decrease in PCR/RAPID tests.

Tests: 802,999 PCR/RAPID tests with positivity rate 15.22%.

355 deaths recorded in the week of July 25-31 from Covid-19, which is 34 deaths per 1 million people (change in a week: +21% ), resulting in the total number of pandemic victims since the start of the pandemic reached 31,377 people. Of those who died, 95.8% had an underlying disease and/or were 70 years of age or older.

Also this week, there is an EODY divergence between the number of deaths and the total number of deaths (last week: 30,999), hinting that the number of deaths for the week of July 25-31 was 378but not 355.

In total, 138 patients with Covid were on ventilators in hospitals as of July 31. Their mean age is 69 years, 65.2% are male, 92.8% have an underlying disease and/or are 70 years of age or older.

2,558 Covid-19 patients were admitted to hospital during the same week, and 2,219 were discharged at the same time.
