The situation in some hospitals of Athens is desperate, as cots have returned to the corridors and even with covid patients.

The rapid increase in coronavirus cases has led to the health system coming under pressure, while there are also problems with non-covid cases.

Waiting for a bed in ICU

Specifically, at the People's Hospital, cots have made an appearance in the pathology clinics, while the hospital has been forced to open a second clinic due to the coronavirus cases. A similar situation has been observed in other hospitals.

It is surprising that in the list of the ECA, the waiting list for a bed in intensive care units has begun. Specifically, on Monday there were 27 people on the waiting list for a bed, while according to Tuesday's list, the 27 people have become a total of 31. It is clarified that these are both covid and non-covid cases.

The beds, however, in all covid clinics in the hospitals of Athens are all occupied.

On the ramp and covid cases



The "C. Gennimatas" opened 4 covid clinics and according to reports, there were cases where some cases were forced to go to other regional hospitals.

A typical example at the People's Hospital, on Monday's on-call duty, they were forced to put two covid cases on a ranch in a corridor and waiting for a bed to be found.
