COVID - 19 IN GREECE

 

According to Greek doctors, specialised in COVID – 19, this will be difficult and long winter, due to this terrible disease.

 

This is a very serious situation in our country, and the remaining European Union member states the cases and deaths are, unfortunately, rapidly rising.  Unbelievably, the USA have lost more citizens by the coronavirus in 2020, than in World War II.

 

Despite the lockdown and all the preventions taken by most of the Greek population (with one incredible exception) like wearing masks, indoors and outdoors, keeping distances etc, the cases and deaths are rising by the day.

 

We are afraid but also hopeful that a vaccine will be available for the broad public by the summer of 2021, which will save mankind from this awful plague.

 

It is also very hard for the economy, and the world economy, because due to the lockdown shops in general, and restaurants, teashops and bars are empty.  Only a few food shops are working by sending their goods to their clients.  Some had to, unfortunately, sack their staff while others had to shut down completely.  A great financial loss.  

Please, do not forget that SAFETY IS FIRST!
