Greek Health Minister: The pandemic will peak during the coming weeksThe Committee of Experts is also meeting on Wednesday to re-evaluate the measures

Greek Health Minister Thanos Plevris in an interview with Skai TV on Tuesday estimated the pandemic will peak in the coming weeks and the infections will set a new record, ANA reports.
"We expect a large number of cases and a high percentage of positivity. We are all aware of this. The numbers are totally different after 1,500,000 tests than after 100,000 tests. Therefore, I believe that this week and the following week, Covid cases will be high," Plevris noted.
