She said the “Pirola” strain had arrived in Greece, noting that experts were concerned that it had more than 30 mutations. “The autumn began with the arrival of the Pirola strain in the country, which has more than 30 mutations, and this frightens us, so we are concerned and are preparing.

The President of EINAP, speaking about the increase in coronavirus cases, noted that “the incidence has really increased, there are hospitalizations. Although we expected this situation to develop towards the end of October, it all started much earlier. We are gradually approaching a time when all life is spent indoors. Schools also opened. You understand that the transmission of the virus has become much easier and requires special attention from citizens and their adoption of preventive measures (wearing masks, using antiseptics).”

Regarding the new wave of Covid and vaccination, which started in Germany and the USA, Ms. Pagoni noted: “We are still a little behind, we have different weather conditions with these countries. We still have good weather, we are not locked indoors, only schools have opened. But gradually, as the weather gets colder, the situation with rampant covid will develop here too.”.Regarding the new wave of Covid and vaccination, which started in Germany and the USA, Ms. Pagoni noted: “We are still a little behind, we have different weather conditions with these countries.
