According to reports, 519 people are currently intubated in intensive care because of the novel coronavirus, the highest since the outbreak of the coronavirus. The average age of the patients is 65 years, of which 156 are women.

At the epidemic press conference on the 20th, Hadalyas, Vice Minister of Civil Protection of Greece, said that although Thessaloniki has been blockaded for three weeks, the spread of the epidemic in the northern region has not slowed significantly. Whether the blockade can be lifted as planned at the end of November depends on the epidemiological data next weekend.
In order to respond more effectively to the epidemic, Hadalyas announced a series of border restrictions, including the closure of the Kristalopiji border with Albania from the morning of the 20th local time. Kakavia, Evzonoy, Kipi Border Stations only allow Greek citizens, EU citizens, and people with Greek residence permits to enter and exit. People with medical, work and other necessary reasons can cross the border between 11 a.m. and 11 p.m., and trucks will not be affected.
In addition, according to the regulations of the relevant authorities, all passengers entering Greece through the land border station need to hold a negative COVID-19 test report within 72 hours.
Although the epidemic in northern Greece is still serious, there are signs that the epidemic in Attica has eased slightly. Tomadis, a professor of chemistry at the University of Athens, said that the load of COVID-19 in wastewater in Attica has been greatly reduced, and water quality sample tests in the past 10 days have shown that the COVID-19 load has been reduced by 50%.
