Monoclonal antibody doses already allocated to qualifying patients in Greece
The 2,000 monoclonal antibodies doses Greece has received have already been distributed to qualifying patients, Alternate Health Minister Mina Gaga said on Thursday, ANA reports.
The now-dominant Omicron variant of Covid-19 may bring milder symptoms but care should not be relaxed, as the Delta variant continues to send people to the hospital, member of the Health Ministry's Covid committee Vana Papaevangelou noted on Thursday.
Of people being tested for the virus, 9% test positive, the doctor said, with a downward trend this week. But she said the median age of new infections was 29 years of age early in December and has now moved up to 39 years. One in two new infections is now of people aged 35 to 44 years old. During this past week, there was a 40% rise in hospital admissions (582 on average each day), while 7 in 10 hospitalized people are over 55 and 1 in 6 is unvaccinated. Currently, there are 5,000 hospitalized people in Greece.
