The healthministry said after the first outbreak of coronavirus that there was no reason to panic and that the situation was under control, but that does not seem to calm citizens, who both in Thessaloniki and Athens yesterday rushed to supermarkets to buy food and things they believe are necessary.

Greece's first confirmed COVID-19 case, a 38-year-old woman admitted to a special ward at AHEPA hospital in Thessaloniki, was reported to be in relatively good condition on Wednesday.

The woman who tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19) "is hospitalized at a negative pressure room in AHEPA hospital and the people she came in contact with these past two days are being tracked down," Health Minister Vassilis Kikilias said on Wednesday in Thessaloniki.
