Regarding the laboratory tests, we must say that no test can rule out 100% that someone is ill, said talking about the evolution of the coronary pandemic in Greece in today’s briefing of the Ministry of Health, Professor Gikas Majorkinis
Even the molecular test, in fact, explained that it may not be able to diagnose a small percentage of patients, either because the virus is not detected in the nose or because it has not multiplied so much that it reaches detectable levels.
However, they detect the virus in its infectious form, a form in which and when the virus is present, it is transmitted.
If someone fails the tests, it is almost impossible to transmit the virus, said Mr. Gikas Majorkinis, summing up that the aim at this stage is to identify the most infectious people
We had a 21% increase in diagnoses and a 7% decrease in deaths. The dispersion is massive, although slightly reduced from the previous week.
In Greece, the total number of diagnoses in the last week showed an improvement of 20%, although deaths increased by 10% and admissions to ICUs by 5%.
“We are seeing a 30% acceleration in deportations because of Omicron,” he said.
