Young German academic buried in Crete after death from Covid-19 complication

A 42-year old German lecturer from the University of Bremen who was teaching at the University of Crete, was on Thursday buried on Crete after dying from Covid-19, the first coronavirus death at the island.

The case of Andreas Hilboll alarmed scientists as he was reportedly not suffering from any underlying health issues, as is often the case with Covid-19 fatalities.
