Greece broke another negative record in daily deaths and coronavirus infections on Wednesday. Health authorities announced 43 Covid-19 related deaths in the past 24 hours and 2,752 new cases. At the same time the number of intubated Covid patients increased to 297 from 263 a day later.
Total cases have reached 63,321 and death toll 908.
The spike in infections, deaths and intubations have forced the Greek government to toughen lockdown measures and will impose a night curfew across the country from 9 pm to 5 am as of November 13, 2020, with very few exemptions – check here..
