As the number of COVID-19 cases, deaths, and intubations gradually rise, authorities and experts are turning their attention to northern Greece, where an exceptionally low vaccination rate and a high number of cases has placed Thessaloniki and the broader region into the high-risk red zone.

A total of 15,598 people have died of COVID-19 in Greece since the start of the pandemic.

As he explained, this measure is necessary as children present a big epidemiological problem.
"Vaccination among educators is below average. If you have a small number of immunized children and non-compliance with the measures, that indicates that you have a jump of the infected in the children's population," he told TV Pink.

Turkish Health Minister Fahrettin Koca has urged the public to get vaccinated and strictly observe anti-virus measures, such as social distancing and wearing face masks as the number of daily COVID-19 cases continue to hover around 30,000.
