According to a local website, the 82-year-old woman became ill from the tap water and developed severe symptoms of gastroenteritis within hours. In addition to stomach problems, the woman had a high fever. The unfortunate woman underwent treatment recommended by doctors at the Velestinos Medical Center, but her health condition worsened. She was transferred to a clinic in Volos, where she found herself in a state of cardiac arrest after her body completely weakened.
The woman lived in Nea Anchialos, but due to health problems in recent weeks she moved to her daughter's house in Stefanovikio. It is worth noting that the daughter of the deceased also fell ill with gastroenteritis.
