Original title: Greece newly diagnosed new crown of 2925 cases of young people as the main infection
China News Service, August 7 According to the Greek “China Greek Times” report, on the evening of August 6, local time, the Greek National Public Health Organization announced that in the past 24 hours, there were 2925 new confirmed cases of new crown in Greece, with a total of 509,596 confirmed cases. There were 21 new deaths and a total of 13,048 deaths.
According to reports, although the recent increase in new cases in Greece has been steady, it still puts tremendous pressure on the country’s health system. Especially with the spread of mutant strains, the number of severely ill patients increased rapidly.
Data shows that the fourth wave of the epidemic mainly infects young people because young people prefer to participate in social activities. Although vaccination has played a very good role in alleviating the epidemic, this wave of epidemic has begun to show a trend of gradually spreading from young people to elderly people who have not been vaccinated, and many elderly people have to be hospitalized.
Mayoknis, an assistant professor in the Department of Hygiene and Epidemiology at the University of Athens, emphasized that the new crown virus may accompany people for several years. People must prepare for the winter, when the situation will become difficult. He called on those who have not been vaccinated to get vaccinated immediately to protect themselves and their families, because the vaccine greatly reduces the possibility of death from contracting the new crown.
At present, the delta mutant strain has the greatest impact on the Greek epidemic. According to statistics from the authorities, among the confirmed cases from July 5 to July 27, infections with the Delta strain accounted for 73%.
What’s more worrying is that according to the latest analysis, the prevalence of this mutation will rise to 85% in the near future. Specifically, more than 80% of the cases in the southern Aegean Sea, Crete, Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, and about 70% of the cases in Attica and Peloponnese are related to the delta strain.
