ZAKYNTHOS. Just a few hours after the death of a 90-year-old man in Ptolemaida.

Just a few hours after the death of the 90-year-old in Ptolemaida, the death was announced of a 67-year-old man who had been hospitalised at Zakynthos Hospital, according to Imerazante.gr. This is the third fatality from coronavirus in Greece.

The 67-year-old was admitted to hospital on Thursday with strong symptoms and was kept tubed in a special isolation unit. A sample was immediately sent to the Pasteur Institute. The results came back on Friday showing him to be positive for coronavirus.

His condition worsened and he suffered cardiac arrest. Doctors did everything they could to resuscitate him but were unable to save him. He passed away at the hospital at 10:30.
