Greece recorded 262 new cases of COVID-19 in the latest 24-hour reporting period, its highest daily tally since the start of the outbreak in the country.

On Monday, Greece recorded 203 COVID-19 cases, which was recorded as the single largest daily number of cases since the pandemic began.

The previous highest number reported in a single day was 156 cases, which was recorded in April.

There were slightly more tests carried out in the last 24 hours, but the number, is not so high to justify the “explosion” of new cases.
