These new cases have brought the total number of Covid-19 patients to 3,672, including all those who have recovered. According to the National Public Health Organization, 25 percent of the cases are considered to be related to traveling inbound from abroad, while 53.1 percent are related to already-known cases.
Despite the increase in cases, no new deaths due to Covid-19 were recorded by health authorities today, with the confirmed number of total fatalities for the nation remaining at 193. The median age for the deceased is currently 76 years, with just 32.1 of the fatalities being female.
Several tourists have also tested positive for the coronavirus, with one case involving a traveler from Romania who reportedly left her hotel room during self-quarantine, wandering around the island of Crete for 72 hours before she was contacted and made to quarantine again.
As the tourist season in Greece continues to progress, health officials are remaining extremely vigilant in their efforts to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
