The system is under pressure, as we already have increased hospitalizations, the director of the pulmonology clinic of Evangelismos Hospital, George Boulbasakos, stressed to SKAI 100.3 about the pandemic.
He added that there are several cases of coronavirus in both medical and nursing staff, resulting in a bigger problem. “Today the vigil started with two specialized doctors, one of whom came out positive,” he said characteristically.
In this context, Mr. Boulbasakos proposed that the private sector assist the NSS in a more structured way.
For his part, speaking to SKAI, the Minister of Health Thanos Plevris commented on the NSS that “all the new intubations that we checked with PCR, none of them are Omicron. “All our intubated fellow citizens are with the Delta mutation,” underlined the Minister of Health. “An encouraging message, but on the other hand because we are talking about a very high contagion, there is pressure on the external emergencies of the hospitals, and accordingly there will be pressure on the NSS, because those who are currently being treated with the Delta mutation, Omicron found us a phase in which the NSS had not been decongested by the fourth wave and for this reason we were forced to take measures “.
