Greece is expecting a New Covid Peak between July 15 and 25

Greece is moving towards the peak of the contagion wave with Omicron variants. About 400 patients a day are admitted to hospitals, but the percentage of people with severe symptoms and deaths is low, according to the health ministry in Athens. Between July 15th and 25th, the peak of the wave of infected with the new variant of Omicron is expected. These are the conclusions of the specialists in Greece. They indicate that the number of new infections could reach 25,000 per day. From the end of July, there will be a gradual decline in the spread of the virus. Until then, doctors recommend wearing masks outdoors in public places where many people gather and it is not possible to keep a distance. “_In this wave, people are infected outdoors, not in closed public places, which practically do not work in the summer in Greece_”, Health Minister Plevris emphasized in a statement. Greece will not return any restrictive measures until the end of the tourist season, because the nature of the spread is different according to Minister Plevris. Doctors admit they expected a summer wave of the virus, but not this severe.

‘The whole thing tastes like gherkins!’: are vegetable martinis really the drink of the summer?

From asparagus to Greek salads, bars across the UK have been adding greens to classic cocktails. Is this a surprisingly great way to get your five a day or a horrible mistake? Over the years, the martini has become a totem of simple, effortless cool. A clear spirit, some vermouth, shaken over ice and poured. It’s pure. It’s sophisticated. It’s a way to get incredibly drunk, incredibly fast. This year, though, a new trend has swaggered into view: the vegetable martini. A martini that tastes of vegetables might sound disgusting, but last month the news site Bloomberg called it “London’s latest drinking craze”, so who am I to argue? Veggie martinis are on the rise: in central London, Eve Bar has a tomatoey Brusketta martini and Science + Industry in Manchester offers a Mushroomtini. In Dalston, east London, Three Sheets makes a beetroot-infused Earth martini, while Tom Kerridge’s Michelin-starred pub the Hand and Flowers, in Marlow, recently introduced a martini made with the chef’s own small-batch vegetable gin.
