The First Broadcast of Radio Proto hosted the member of the Advisory Committee of the Ministry of Health Dr. Petros Karagiannis, who spoke about the increasing course of cases and the percentage of positivity in the Province of Famagusta.
He initially reported that the province of Famagusta has recorded 920 cases per 100.000 in a 14-day period, according to the national report. "Although it is the least populous province, it has seen a tremendous increase in cases."
He added that there are cases in the family environment. "Children got the virus and then they got the vaccinated parents." He stressed that they have no symptoms due to the vaccine.
He also said that vaccinated people should not be complacent as there is a possibility that they will become infected and transmit the virus to others. He added that there is security in the dining areas, but many do not use the mask.
Mr. Karagiannis said that people needed a carefree summer, but unfortunately the coronavirus had surprises in store. "We are talking about a serious outburst that we did not expect. "55% of the cases concern ages 25 and under."
Finally, he spoke about the possibility of a third dose of the vaccine, as he explained that we do not yet know the time of immunity. Regarding the Lambda mutation, which originates from Latin America, he clarified that there are still not enough data, not even if it is equal to Alpha or Delta.
