Measures are being taken in nursing homes, following the spike in coronavirus cases, the Minister of Health, Popi Kanari, said in her statements yesterday.
As she explained, most cases come from nursing homes, noting that at the moment a number of 75 patients are recorded and this, she said, is something that worries her Ministry.
He explained that "many elderly people are not vaccinated because they do not want their relatives to be vaccinated", mentioning that the Ministry of Health sent mobile units to the closed structures for vaccinations.
As he indicated, masks will be given, as well as tests to the staff and visitors to the structures, while he assured that the effort to vaccinate will continue, because according to the Ministry, the vaccinations should have been completed by October.
Mrs. Kanari explained that the Ministry's efforts will continue, as there may be a further increase in cases and patients in the future.
"People must be convinced that the vaccine protects. They may be infected with the coronavirus, but the symptoms will be much milder after vaccination'', concluded the Minister of Health.
