Michalis Kalogirou, head of the office of opposition leader Alexis Tsipras and a former Justice minister (2018-19) in the SYRIZA government has tested positive in hospital for the coronavirus.

As he posted on his Facebook account, Kalogirou was hospitalized with a respiratory tract infection Thursday.

Governing New Democracy still has a double-digit lead over SYRIZA, a public opinion poll released by Pulse showed on Thursday. It gave the center-right party a 39% approval rating, against 23% for the leftist opposition, though both parties slipped one percentage point compared to Pulse's December 12-16 poll.
