Three cases of West Nile virus were recorded in August in the Rhodope region in Eastern Macedonia-Thrace, which raises concern although practically the dangerous period has elapsed.

Already in the last few months both Xanthi and Kavala are in the relevant list of areas at high risk for the occurrence of the virus, and in recent years the number of cases has skyrocketed, while just last year Xanthi counted most cases nationwide after Attica.

Under thrakitoday.com, the new Regional Director George Pavlidis, who took office on Monday morning, ordered officially to be given priority in areas of high risk, and already they are made and programmed.
