Greece is experiencing a continuous increase in West Nile Virus cases, with the latest data from the National Public Health Organization (EODY) revealing 19 deaths and 232 confirmed infections. A sharp rise in cases during the past week is fueling concerns among experts, potentially indicating a record-breaking year for the virus. Municipal authorities are actively responding by implementing widespread spraying programs to control mosquito populations, the primary vector for the disease. The situation is being closely monitored as health officials work to contain the outbreak and protect the population. This surge highlights the ongoing threat posed by West Nile Virus in the region and the importance of preventative measures. Further increases are possible if mosquito control efforts are not effective.
