Greek scientists are increasingly concerned by the “orphan” domestic incidents of SARS-CoV-2 and the increasing numbers admitted to hospital with Covid-19, combined with the increase in imported cases and a “relaxation” in personal protective measures, infectious diseases expert Dr. Panagiotis Gargalianos noted in an interview with the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA) released on Saturday.
“We are at the point where there starts to be great concern over domestic ‘orphan’ cases. The next two weeks will be decisive for us to see what will happen in August,” Gargalianos pointed out, urging people to step up personal protection, wear face masks and avoid large gatherings.
The president of the Hellenic Society for Infectious Diseases and a member of the Greek Committee of experts for the coronavirus, Gargalianos said the focus was now in northern Greece due to its proximity with countries with a higher epidemiological load, especially in Thessaloniki, but also in Attica.
