Original title: Greece may be affected by the fifth wave of child infections, causing concern
China News Service, September 28. According to the Greek “China Greek Times” report, on the 27th local time, the Greek National Public Health Organization announced that there were 2,130 new confirmed cases of new crowns in Greece in the past 24 hours, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases increased to 6,480,091; There were 47 deaths and a total of 14,727 deaths.
On the same day, Professor Tomidis of the University of Athens said that according to the test results of the virus content in urban sewage, the Attica area where the capital Athens is located, the new crown virus content in sewage has increased by 30% compared with the previous period. It is expected that in the next few days, the number of daily cases in Attica will be 200 to 250 more than the current number.
He predicted that the fourth wave of the epidemic in Greece will reach its peak in October, when the number of new confirmed cases every day will reach about 3,500.
However, after the peak does not mean that the epidemic will flatten out. Since the number of unvaccinated people is still large, the infection rate of these people will rise. At the same time, the autumn and winter seasons are more conducive to the survival and spread of the virus. Therefore, at the end of October, Greece may encounter a fifth wave of epidemics.
Greek microbiology professor Vatopoulos expressed concern about the situation in the northern part of the country. He said that the low rate of COVID-19 vaccination in the region will result in a surge in cases. In addition, he also pointed out that the current school is only two weeks away, so it is not yet possible to judge the spread of the virus in the school. However, the virus infection of children has been a common concern among experts recently.
Professor Salianis of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki said that according to the calculation of mathematical models, it is estimated that by the end of 2021, 44% of new cases will be children. He urged those who have not been vaccinated to get vaccinated as soon as possible in order to block the spread of the virus to the greatest extent or to slow down the spread of the virus. (Cai Ling)
