The resumption of measures against coronavirus in case the intubations exceed 250-300 announced by the Assistant Professor of Hygiene and Epidemiology of EKPA, Gikas Majorkinis on SKAI and the show “Unmatched”, noting however that we are still far from this possibility. «We will see an increase in piping as well, but we believe that it will be manageable“, He clarified.

Regarding the number of cases, he said that by July 10, large numbers of diagnoses are expected which will move averaged at 20,000 and this is due to two reasons:
1. In the Omicron 4 and Omicron 5 mutations that are much more contagious in the context of our immunity.
2. In the high number of tests we have decided to do as a country. “We are second in Europe and that is why we have the greatest diagnostic capacity at the moment,” he noted.

«On average, we estimate that the peak will be at 20,000 and a little above that. This means that some days we may have 30,000 cases and some other days 15,000“, Added Mr. Majorkinis.

However, he pointed out that contrary to what he said yesterday in a post on social media, there is a possibility today that we will not see the number of 20,000, and if this is finally confirmed, it means that we are in a slowdown and the peak can be completed faster.
