Zakynthos:- 56 year old confirmed with Coronavirus.

According to reports a 56-year-old from Zakynthos is being treated at the so-called “covid clinic”.

The man after having coronavirus symptoms visited our Hospital where it was confirmed.

The 56-year-old tested positive for the virus. Due to his condition the treating doctors decided that he should be hospitalized.

At the same time, the tracking of his contacts has begun and those who were in close contact with him have been put under self isolation.

Updates:-

During the press conference given by Mr. Giakoumelos with the President of POEDIN Michalis Giannakos, the latter referred to this incident, pointing out that the patient is a bus driver and that there may be a large spread of the virus.

 

In more detail, among others, Mr. Giannakos said: “I wish the patient who tested positive for the coronavirus a speedy recovery. As the doctors informed us, he has no underlying diseases and is being treated in the ICU – on the verge of intubation – for close monitoring. This shows how dangerous and insidious the virus is. EODY should speed up the tracking of contacts because the patient was a bus driver and there may be a large dispersion. “If we do not track down his contacts quickly, we may have a second cycle in Zakynthos, which will be very dangerous.”
