Greece’s National Health Organization (EODY) will deploy teams to conduct COVID-19 testing to vulnerable residents of small and remote islands. Testing is scheduled to start next week on the islands of Milos, Kimolos, Folegandros and Sikinos, on May 25-26, 2020.
The program will be expanded over the following weeks to reach more small and remote islands in the Aegean Sea, where medical services are basic and residents who are elderly or have mobility problems are unable to reach facilities in the capital or bigger islands.
The action takes place in cooperation with NGO Symplefsi that will provide inflatable boats, crews and volunteers and transport the tests samples to laboratories in Athens.
EODY has assured that doctors and other staff participating in the program will be tested in COVID-19 before every mission in order to avoid of bringing the virus to vulnerable communities in areas with not adequate health facilities.
