Chinanews, August 5, according to the Greek "China Greek Times" report, on the evening of August 4 local time, the Greek National Public Health Organization announced that there were 2856 new confirmed cases of new crown in Greece in the past 24 hours.

At present, a total of 503,885 cases have been confirmed; 16 new cases have died, and a total of 13013 cases have died.

  On August 4, local time, medical researcher George Pavlakis told the Greek media that due to the relaxation of the summer epidemic prevention measures, Greece failed to prevent the fourth wave of the outbreak, and about 10 people were affected every day. Infected with the new coronavirus and died.

  By the end of 2021, the number of people infected in Greece is expected to maintain a significant growth.

The increasing number of cases will put tremendous pressure on the Greek society, and the only way to deal with the fourth wave of the epidemic is to lock down.

  Pavlakis warned that the relaxation of epidemic prevention measures in summer will put tremendous pressure on epidemic prevention in autumn and winter.

If the vaccination rate remains low and people fail to take personal protective measures, the epidemic will continue to spread, it will be difficult for schools to continue to open up, and the smooth progress of economic activities will be in vain.

If effective measures are taken now, epidemic prevention in autumn and winter will be easier.

  The continuous increase in the number of new crown cases in Greece has led the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to list Greece as the country with the highest risk level recently and advise Americans not to travel to Greece.

  When asked whether Greece needs to impose a lockdown on severely affected areas, Pavlakis said that these tasks should be carried out before the fourth wave of the epidemic, because it is 100 times easier and more effective than during the peak of the epidemic.

  He predicted that in the coming weeks, especially after August 15th, hospitals may face greater pressure.

Given that people continue to return after their summer vacation, the epidemic will spread from young people to old people, and even to people who have not been vaccinated.
