China News Service, June 28, according to the "China-Greek Times" report, at 18:00 local time on June 27, the Greek Ministry of Health announced that in the past 24 hours, Greece had 23 new confirmed cases of new crowns and no new deaths. So far, Greece has accumulatively diagnosed 3,366 new crown cases and 191 deaths. Some experts said that Greece has not yet repelled the new crown virus, and the public still needs to pay attention to prevention and control.
According to reports, since the opening of the international airports in Athens and Thessaloniki to Greece on June 15, dozens of tourists have tested positive for the new coronavirus. The Greek people are increasingly worried that the virus will make a comeback in the summer.
It is worth noting that the Greek authorities have not conducted mandatory testing on passengers from low-risk European countries. Greek news website tvxsgr said that many tourists from high-risk countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom arrived in Greece from a European airport transit airport on a non-mandatory checklist. This makes one worry that some virus carriers who have not been inspected at the airport have already entered the country.
Sephas pointed out that although Greece’s first epidemic has passed, it is likely to resurrect. "More and more imported cases remind us that the virus is around." He said that the current R0 transmission index in Greece is very low, but it is likely to increase. He also emphasized: "In Greece, less than 1% of the population has antibodies, which is equivalent to zero."
As a member of the Greek National Health Organization Committee, Sephas stated that the authorities' goal is to make every effort to prevent the virus from making a comeback in the summer. However, as far as the current situation is concerned, many people have left the prevention and control behind. They can’t wait to party, go to the bar, and open the Party. Most of them are young people. These people don’t seem to realize the seriousness of the problem. (Zhang Wei)
