Based on the epidemiological reports of the last few days, the whole of Greece presents a significant increase of victims from complications of Covid-19, with the current one reaching the number of 119 dead.
At the General Hospital of Serres, however, a “black” three days were recorded, as from Saturday until today, a total of 8 people died from coronavirus.
“The first and main reason is the large number of unvaccinated citizens in our area. This fact is framed by the untimely arrival of sick people in the hospital. They almost always come in heavy condition. “And of course the underlying diseases also play an important role,” Dimitris Balaxis, the director of the Medical Service of the Serres Hospital, told GRTimes.
The latter adds that the vast majority of “victims of coronavirus complications that have been recorded in the hospital are unvaccinated, while some of them at an advanced age.
Of course there is a small percentage of people who are young and without any underlying disease. “But what remains important is to increase vaccinations.”
In the meantime, according to the data of gov.gr in the Regional Unit of Serres, 91,242 citizens have received the two doses of the vaccine or the single-dose J&J, while 67,704 have also received the souvenir.
On the whole, however, and according to the health map of the Civil Protection, in the whole Regional Unit, the complete vaccinations have not exceeded 60%.
Four patients in ICU – 21 in single beds
At the same time, however, the pressure on the hospital health system seems to be declining, as, “at the moment we have four fellow human beings in the Intensive Care Unit with a capacity of 10 beds, while 21 patients have been admitted to single beds. At the same time, the deliveries to hospitals in Thessaloniki have stopped “, underlines Dimitris Balaxis in GRTimes.
