Pulmonology professor Nikos Tzanakis spoke of a peak in the number of cases around mid-July, which may exceed 20,000 per day, speaking to SKAI and on the “Today” show.
“Since the beginning of June, we have said that the peak will be July 15-25,” said the professor, adding that the number of cases at its peak will range between 20 and 22 thousand.
He emphasized that him August a slow de-escalation will follow but due to the Greek summer with social events, weddings and August 15th, it is still not clear what exactly will happen. “We will remain high in cases in August, we may not reach 25,000 but we will not fall below 10”, added Mr. Tzanakis.

About her 4th dose of vaccine he reiterated that it must be done by those over 60, while those under 60 should generally not do it unless they have special reasons (due to an underlying disease) and discuss them with their doctor to decide. Regarding this issue he added: “It will not hurt them to make it clear, but it has not been shown to be of distinct benefit to this medical team. When a medical procedure does not distinctly promote human health, we cannot recommend it. In the over 60s it has been shown to be of strong benefit.”
Finally, he emphasized that he disagrees with the decision of EODY to stop the daily reports and stated that the data should be given daily and a summary of the numbers should be made once a week.
