According to the statement of the Greek Health Ministry on Friday, 55% of the total infections affect men.
Of the total cases, 707 are related to travel abroad and 1,813 were infected by already known cases.

Average age of the deceased 76, the overwhelming majority, 95.8% had underlying health problem and/or were over 70 years old.
A total of 274,711 tests have been conducted since 1. January 2020.
With very few exceptions, the number of daily tests reportedly stands at 3,000 per day.
From June 1 to 18, the confirmed cases reached 309, while they were 147 in the last 18 days of May, some media report.
Around 270700 tests have been done since January? Then it simply is not true that the number of daily testing is 3000. It’s much lower number of testing. And it’s a very small percent of tests in relation to the total population number of Greece. I love Greece very much and that is why I carefully follow the information about the epidemic. Wish all the best to the country and the people.
