We are no longer talking about an outbreak of cases but about the 4th wave, said commenting on the increased positive incidents that have been announced in recent days, the member of the Advisory Scientific Committee of the Ministry of Health, Dr. Petros Karagiannis.
Speaking on the show Front Page, Dr. Karagiannis stated that "at the moment we have overcome the peak of the previous wave. We are a breath before 1000 and I think that today we may overcome them. We are no longer talking about an outbreak of cases but about the 4th wave, which could give us even higher numbers in the coming days ".
He added that there is a general upsurge in many countries. "Where European countries were expecting a breath of fresh air this summer, 37 countries, most of them European, are booming."
Regarding the hospitalizations in the hospitals of our country, Dr. Karagiannis explained that they are not reflected by the increase of cases. This is because the infections are in younger people who will have milder symptoms.
"What we should be concerned about with younger people is that if someone is not vaccinated yet we may see more serious treatments in people in their family environment such as their grandparents," he said.
Finally, in a new appeal, he stated that "we must all understand that if we do not make a collective effort to control things, we will continue to face this situation until the autumn. This should be understood by businesses that refuse to control SafePass. "If we continue like this, the government may decide to take stricter measures."
