The peak of the coronavirus and COVID-19 outbreak that began in mid-November is expected to arrive by the end of January, but it will not put significant pressure on the national health system, assistant professor of epidemiology at the National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, Gikas Magiorkinis, told Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA-MPA) on Saturday.
He also pointed out that vaccination with the new enhanced vaccine has been underestimated, and that this is reflected in the increase in Covid hospitalizations. According to EODY’s epidemiological report for December 18-24, 1,496 Covid-19 patients are hospitalized in regular beds. The number of admissions showed a 37% increase over the average weekly number of admissions in the previous 4 weeks and was higher than the number of admissions in the corresponding week of 2022. Intubations showed a slight decrease while deaths reached 62.
