According to the RKI management report on Tuesday, the

nationwide

seven-day R-value

was

0.94

(previous day 1.01).

This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 94 more people.

The value represents the occurrence of the infection 8 to 16 days ago.

If it is below 1 for a longer period of time, the infection process subsides;

if it is consistently higher, the number of cases increases.

The approximately

400

intensive care beds in the greater

Athens area

are

93 percent

occupied.

Accordingly, there are only

26

free beds available

for the approximately four million inhabitants

, as the news channel Skai reported on Tuesday.

For comparison: According to the Interdisciplinary Association for Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine (Divi), there are 1148 intensive care beds in Berlin, which is only slightly smaller in terms of population, of which 1008 are occupied.

The greater Athens area and many other areas in

Greece

have been in a tough lockdown for weeks, but this has not reduced the number of new infections as much as hoped.

According to Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, it is therefore rather unlikely that the lockdown will be lifted at the weekend.

On Monday, the health authority

reported

1176

new infections

nationwide

.

So far, according to government

information, a

good

920,000

people have been vaccinated.

That's about

8.5 percent of

the population.

According to official figures, more than

6,534

people have

died from or with the virus

.
