According Ekathimerini the number of intubation went up to 423, not a decrease.
KTG uses numbers from daily EODY bulletin. check link below the maps. No idea what numbers KAth uses.
Never trust Ekathimerini, the soul mate of the ND government 😉
…for what it’s worth.
Somethings wrong here, Ekatimerini writes 423 intubated?? Hope they are wrong! BTW: thanks, again, for continuing the geo distribution report 🙂
Ekathimerini has now corrected their headline. So you, KTG, was right!
