Coronavirus: No further relaxations necessary as advisors meet minister
March 14, 2022
No further relaxations, no increased restrictions but a fourth dose of a Covid-19 vaccine for the elderly and immunocompromised are on the cards, an expert said on Monday.
A fourth shot across the wider population will be considered towards September, as much of the population’s immunity levels will have waned by then, government advisor Petros Karayiannis said.
The advisory team meets with Health Minister Michalis Hadjipantelas later on Monday amid a rise in the positivity rate and infections – steadily above three per cent and reaching 3,000 daily – but a vastly reduced number of people in hospital, down to 107 as of Sunday night.
