The number of covid patients hospitalized in the hospitals of OKYPY has been increasing in recent days, a fact that does not allow those responsible to be complacent, as this is the indicator that largely determines the course of the pandemic in our country.
From Monday, March 21, when 149 hospitalized patients were announced by the Ministry, until yesterday, Sunday, an increase was recorded, as it was announced that 173 patients were hospitalized in state hospitals, 18 of them in serious condition. An increase over the previous period was also recorded in the positivity rate, which yesterday stood at 5.22%.
The importance of the number of hospitalizations was once again highlighted by the Minister of Health, speaking in the previous days and asked whether there would be further relaxations in the coming period.
"We have to look at the hospitalizations at the specific moment and not at the cases. If hospitalisations remain stable as they are at the moment then it is expected that more relaxations will be given in the next ten days," Michael Hadjipandela said.
However, the Minister is waiting to hear from experts regarding the abolition of the safe pass in other areas.
There will be no meeting with members of the Scientific Advisory Committee today. The Health Minister is abroad and the epidemiological data was analysed a week ago, with officials agreeing to allow two weeks before the situation is reassessed.
