Secure information states that Mr. Plevris will exhaust all his diplomacy, in order to convince the private doctors through a fruitful public debate. If there is no result, then on the table of dialogue, the “paper” of the order will be thrown.
Also, according to the information, the Ministry of Health will not announce yet a specific number of doctors that the NSS needs, this will be done after the dialogue between the two sides.

The 5th pandemic wave has started to show its teeth in the hardest way, even to those who have been vaccinated, because of it. increased viral load and the highly contagious DELTA strain.
The government and the leadership of the Ministry of Health have said in every way that the NSS is not going to be transformed into a COVID system this year, but all patients will be served. The only hospitals that are purely COVID-19, are in SOTIRIA and Agios Pavlos in Thessaloniki. The question is what policy will be followed, if the cordon is tightened even more and we reach, or exceed 10,000 cases per day.
