1. Communication and detailed information of the local authorities for the special epidemiological characteristics of the area

Greece has been facing a constant increase of coronavirus infections, deaths, intubations and hospitalizations since mid-October.
The so-called “fourth wave of the pandemic” has been putting the country’s public hospitals under immense pressure, with Covid-patients intubated outside ICUs.
