Greece records highest daily Covid death toll with 130 fatalities
Greece recorded its highest daily death toll since the start of the pandemic on Tuesday with 130 fatalities, and 5,736 new coronavirus cases.
The daily briefing by the National Organization for Public Health (EODY) also reported 700 intubated patients in Greece’s ICUs.
Most of the intubated patients (568 or 81.14%) are either unvaccinated or partially vaccinated, with the remaining patients (132 or 18.86%) being fully vaccinated.
The total number of deaths in Greece since the pandemic rose to 19,475. EODY had announced 134 deaths on May 3 but that bulletin included data from two days instead of the usual 24-hour count.
Attica, Greece’s most populous region, reported 1,786 cases, with the northern port city of Thessaloniki registering 901.
