“We are entering a phase of de-escalation of the epidemic, which is stable”, said the EKPA Intensive Care Professor Theodoros Vasilakopoulos talking to .

As he said, the cases and the intubation are decreasing daily. However, the death toll remains high.

“Deaths are high either because they come from hospitalizations when the cases were much higher or because it takes a lot longer until the de-escalation is seen,” he explained.

He also pointed out that there are people who are triple vaccinated and lose their lives, because they are very serious cases. These are less than 5% of all deaths.

Finally, he stressed that those over 50 should get a 4th dose of the vaccine, voluntarily.
