Chinanews, August 12, according to the "China-Greece Times" report, on the evening of August 11 local time, the Greek National Public Health Organization announced that there were 3475 new cases of new coronavirus pneumonia patients in Greece in the past 24 hours.

A total of 524,871 cases have been diagnosed.

There were 19 new deaths and a total of 13,138 deaths.

　　Greek microbiology professor Alkiviadis Vatopoulos expressed concern about the spread of the new crown virus after the summer vacation.

He said: "Because the delta strain is extremely contagious, people who have been vaccinated may also spread the virus everywhere. This will put people who have not been vaccinated at risk. People who are not protected by vaccines You will get sick, and even become severely ill."

　　He pointed out that the recent reduction in vaccination rates is because most people are on vacation.

　　Regarding the prevention and control recommendations after the vacation, Vatopolos said that people should take a self-test for the virus immediately when they return home from the vacation.

Then you need to do strict self-protection in the next week, and it is still necessary to undergo a virus test again a week later to determine whether you are infected.

　　Demosthenes Sarigiannis, professor of environmental engineering at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, said on the 11th that according to mathematical model predictions, the number of newly diagnosed new coronary pneumonia in Greece in early September may reach 5000 cases.

　　He said that the situation of the fall epidemic will depend on the level of new crown vaccination.

If Greece can reach a 60% to 65% vaccination rate by the end of summer, that will be a satisfactory figure.

In addition, Greece also needs to conduct more virus tests to better grasp the epidemic trend.

　　He pointed out that vaccination is the main weapon for people to eventually overcome the epidemic, but it is not the only weapon. In addition to actively being vaccinated, people also need to observe protective measures, including wearing masks and maintaining social distancing.
