“It simply came to our notice then to stop at some point the measure of the masks, if and if the pressure on the NSS continues to decrease whatever measures are horizontal at the moment to gradually move to withdrawal “explained the professor. Our index to impose or remove them, he clarified, will be from now on the NSS. It is the absolute indicator.

Acute hepatitis in children: Rare complication, not virus
Regarding the cases of acute hepatitis in children, Mr. Majorkinis stated that there has been an increase in the last week regarding the reports, however he clarified that these reports were diagnosed at other times recently, and this is because an attempt was made to look for cases in the last six months in DIFFERENT countries.
“We do not have any new reports, the UK curve showed that the peak took place in late March – early April, but we are expected to see that … What we are seeing so far is a rare complication, not a virus which is spreading and we are waiting for it to spread “he stressed.
“Evidence shows that people who had this rare complication almost all had adenovirus 41. The incidence in the community is around 5% to 10%,” he explained.
