A significant increase in cases of coronavirus in the 18-24 age group and mainly in tourist areas of Greece during the last three weeks, according to data presented today by the National Public Health Organization in an emergency briefing.
Experts said active cases in the country are currently estimated at 150,000 to 200,000, with an estimated reproduction rate of 1.3.
During the same period of the last three weeks, there has also been an upward trend in reinfections, while the number of hospitalizations in single beds is also increasing.
At the heart of the increase in infections are tourist areas, such as the Ionian Sea, the southern Aegean, Crete and Attica.
One of the elements that, according to experts, creates optimism is that there is no increase in hospitalizations in ICU beds and the number of deaths.
During the briefing, EODY President Theoklis Zaoutis noted that a spread of the virus is currently observed throughout Europe, but the number of hospitalizations and intubations is not in the red in most European countries at the moment.
According to the data presented, the BA4 and BA5 variants of the Omicron mutation are currently predominant in Europe and Greece.
