New coronary severely ill patient discharged after 51 days of intubation treatment

　　On February 18, local time, a 69-year-old severely ill patient with COVID-19 in Greece was discharged from a hospital in Kozani and went to a rehabilitation center after receiving 51 days of intubation.

　　51 days ago, the 69-year-old new crown patient was transferred to the intensive care unit from the pathology clinic of the Mamasio Hospital in Kozani due to worsening symptoms.

Since this patient himself had a basic disease, after being transferred to the intensive care unit, the struggle with the illness was particularly difficult.

　　However, the medical workers did not give up on this patient. After nearly two months of intubation treatment, his health successfully reached the discharge standard.

Stelgios Ganassios, Dean of Mamasio Hospital, said: “On behalf of all the staff of the hospital, we wish him health and happiness from now on, and happiness and happiness for his family.”

Greece continues to promote new crown vaccination

Experts may suggest extending the lockdown for several weeks

　　Due to heavy snowfall, the Greek government previously announced that it would postpone the vaccination work originally scheduled for the 16th.

The Secretary-General of the Ministry of Health in charge of primary health care Simistokes said on the 17th that Greece will vaccinate people who have not been vaccinated on the 16th next week.

　　Simistokes also pointed out that although the vaccination for ordinary people was cancelled due to weather on the 16th, the vaccines were not wasted.

This batch of vaccines has been used to vaccinate prisoners and guards in Korydallos prison in Athens.

He also pointed out that as of the 17th, the health authorities had completed 660,000 vaccinations, equivalent to covering 5.71% of the population of Greece.

　　In order to effectively control the epidemic, the Greek government announced earlier that from February 11 to 28, it would implement a "hard core blockade" measure on the Attica region, including Athens.

The government medical expert committee is likely to recommend to the government to extend the blockade measures for several weeks at a regular meeting held on the 19th.
