A Greek epidemiologist spoke about who will become a possible victim of the fourth wave of the new type of coronavirus pandemic.
Assessing the situation in the country, the expert said that if such a scenario is realized and the wave reaches Greece, the threat will only affect the unvaccinated population.
Let us note that experts consider the spreading Indian strain of coronavirus as such a threat.
The emergence of the delta mutation, which is now prevalent in the United Kingdom, with increased transmissibility, certainly raises concerns about its transmission to neighboring countries and the creation of a fourth wave of the epidemic, MIA quotes the words of the chairman of the National Vaccination Committee of Greece, Maria Theodoridou.
But as for its intensity, experts predict a moderate flow of hospitalized patients and the number of deaths.
The country’s authorities do not rule out that the Indian strain will be detected in Greece during the tourist season.
However, experts remain optimistic and vigilant.
