Greece medical workers demonstrate against poor coronavirus conditions
Hospital employees staged silent protests on April 7, throughout
the cities of Grece, against the lack of funds and personnel in the fight
against coronavirus. The action was organized by the union with the
support of the Communist Party.
Doctors demanded that the government hire additional
employees and attract additional funds to the health sector from the private
sector.
In the center of Athens, such an action took place at the
entrance to the largest hospital in the city. Its participants came out in
masks and suits of special protection and with posters: "We are fighting
for you, support us louder!"
Promotions took place on World Health Day.
Earlier, Greek President Katerina Sakellaropoulou
congratulated the doctors on the holiday, thanking them for the efforts that
they are making in the fight against coronavirus.
According to the latest data, the number of people infected
with coronavirus in Greece reached 2,114 and 98 deaths.
Last week, it was reported that the Greek police issued
fines of 4.2 million euros for violating the ban on the optional movement of
the city, introduced to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
Most of the
proceeds for fines will be invested in the Greek health system.
