Vaccination appointments for citizens aged 80-84 will become available at 18:00 on Friday, said Health Ministry Secretary General for Primary Health Care, Marios Themistokleous, at a live briefing on Thursday
Some 123.077 citizens have so far been inoculated in Greece, he added, which translates to 1.13 pct of the country's population.
Speaking at the same briefing, Health Minister Vassilis Kikilias said that the figures produced by the country's current epidemiological profile continue to keep health experts concerned, as there is a slight increase in new daily cases of infection compared to last week, registering an average of 440 cases per day.
The median age of new cases is 46 years, and the number of active cases in the Attica region at the moment is 2,304.
Keeping up with all safety restrictions is still key, stressed the minister, before noting that the pandemic's burden on the national health system's intensive care units has subsided considerably, as at least half of all Covid-19 ICU beds in Athens and Thessaloniki are currently unoccupied.
