Ventilator

Three coronavirus patients from the city of Drama in northern Greece were Thursday airlifted to Athens as ICU beds in the area reached full capacity. The Hellenic Air Force C130 Hercules military transport plane took off from Kavala airport and landed at Elefsina military airport.

It was announced Monday that the Hellenic Army General Staff (HAGS) will set up a mobile emergency medical unit in the parking lot of the 424 General Military Hospital in Thessaloniki, northern Greece.

The unit will not provide ICU-level support. It's creation is part of restructuring to create more room for Covid-19 patients inside the main hospital building.

An eight-year girl who was being treated for a serious bullet injury in the head had to be put back on the ventilator after her health deteriorated, the Athens' Aglaia Kyriakou Children's Hospital said on Friday.

The hospital said the girl is still in the ICU and her health "remains critical."
