Greece on Monday reported the lowest number of new coronavirus cases since March 12, indicating a flattening of the curve, but warned against complacency.
The country reported 20 new cases of Covid-19 on Monday, bringing the total number of patients with the virus to 1,755. It was the lowest number of new cases in more than three weeks. Seventy-nine people have died.

Global infections stand at more than 1.347m, with deaths at 74,892. The US now has more than 368,000 cases and close to 11,000 deaths and the UK has more than 52,000 cases and close to 5,400 deaths.

The British prime minister was moved to intensive care on Monday night after his condition worsened. Donald Trump paid tribute to Johnson at his daily White House briefing, calling him a “fantastic warm strong smart guy” who “fought like hell for his country. But intensive care is big stuff, really big stuff.” Australia’s prime minister Scott Morrison sent his good wishes, saying: “We’re with you mate, and we hope you get better soon.” The British foreign secretary, Dominic Raab, will run the country’s coronavirus response in Johnson’s absence.

Prime minister Shinzo Abe is expected to declare a state of emergency in Japan in the coming hours. The move comes after several major regions saw a sharp rise in coronavirus cases, especially in the capital Tokyo.

France has reported 833 new coronavirus deaths in the past day, the highest daily toll since its outbreak began.
The total number of people who have died after testing positive for Covid-19 now stands at 8,911, while the number of infections is 98,010.

Reuters is reporting that Germany has recorded another 3,834 cases of Covid-19, bringing their total cases to 99,225, with 1,607 deaths.

This World Health Day, celebrated today, honors the contribution of nurses and midwives, recognizing their vital role in keeping the world healthy. Nurses and other health workers are at the frontlines of COVID-19 response, putting their own health at risk to protect the broader community.
“World Health Day this year comes at a very difficult time for all of us.
My message today is to our health care workers — the nurses, midwives, technicians, paramedics, pharmacists, doctors, drivers, cleaners, administrators and many others — who work, day and night to keep us safe”, UN Secretary-General Antonio Gutteres stated.

The eurozone ministers must seek out difficult compromises regarding the support plan for the member-states battered by the coronavirus pandemic.

In an article published in Tuesday’s Kathimerini, Finance Minister Christos Staikouras calls on his colleagues in the Eurogroup council of eurozone finance ministers to show solidarity as they convene on the same day and approve “a catalytic move that will offer a strong injection of liquidity to the economy.”

And the weather forecast…
Cloudy and rainy in Attica today with winds blowing from the north at a speed of 6-8 on the beaufort scale. The temperature today will reach a maximum of 13 degrees Celsius.
