Ptolemaida

A second fatality from COVID-19 has been confirmed in Greece. The victim, a 90-year-old man, died at a hospital in the northern city of Ptolemaida.

Workers at the state-run Public Power Corporation will be staging a rally on Monday in Kozani, northern Greece, to protest the government's plans to shut down all of the country's lignite-powered plants starting next year.

The rally against the "sudden death" of PPC, according to unionists, will start at 5 p.m. at the main square of the town of Ptolemaida.

A 67-year-old man died on Monday morning after being accidentally shot during a wild boar hunt in a forested area between the northern Greek towns of Kozani and Florina on Sunday.
According to reporters, a fellow hunter mistook him for their quarry.
He was rushed to a hospital in the town of Ptolemaida, where he underwent surgery but died.

Ask most Greeks, and they’ll tell you that the richest Greeks live in Ekali, Kifisia or Filothei in the northern suburbs of Athens. The truth, according to data of the General Secretariat of Public Revenue, is that the wealthy Greeks of the Athens northern suburbs are constantly getting poorer. Hence, the new wealthy Greeks are in Kozani – northern Greece.
