The COVID-19 pandemic remains a concern in Greece, with weekly deaths reported. However, Dr. Theodora Psaltopoulou, an epidemiologist, has raised alarm over a significant resurgence of whooping cough, with 500 cases appearing in just one year compared to the 500 cases recorded over the past fifteen years. She emphasized the importance of vaccination, particularly for pregnant women, and highlighted the need for international cooperation to prevent future pandemics due to rising risks from climate change and increased contact with animals.
