We must observe the measures of individual protection, we must take care of each other “, stressed Vassilis Kikilias.
The South African mutation was detected in Northern Greece, signalling an alarm at the Civil Protection office.

“In March we will do even more, and in April, May, June we will massively vaccinate the Greek society, these are the months when we will put the machines in full swing” said Mr. Kikilias and added: “If it continues without interruptions and without other problems, the common European supply, the supply of the Member States and the vaccines are coming, it is obvious that by the beginning of the summer we will have vaccinated the vulnerable groups, the health, the elderly and we will have moved down to a significant number of our fellow citizens, such that we can say that we are looking forward to the summer with optimism “.
Health Minister Vassilis Kikilias, speaking to Sky, said that “we will continue to push companies, to talk and cooperate with Europe on a daily basis.
