CORFU. According to Corfu hospital sources, the dramatic news that spread following the statement from the Public Hospital Workers president and union members is not so dramatic after all and has no connection with the vaccination.

The Athens Public Prosecutor has ordered a preliminary investigation to see if the offence of spreading fake news was committed with the statement made by the president of the Panhellenic Federation of Public Hospital Workers (POEDHN) Michalis Yiannakos regarding the nurse.

According to sources close to the Prosecutor, the Corfu Public Prosecutor will proceed in the same way.

According to Corfu hospital sources, the matter which spread so dramatically following the statement from the POEDHN president and union members is not so dramatic after all, fortunately, and has no connection with the vaccination.

According to the same sources, following the nurse's vaccination about a week ago she had a bit of a fever and felt some numbness in her limbs. She was advised to rest at home and her condition has improved. Doctors are looking into the matter.

Corfu Hospital Administration has not issued a statement as there is not enough medical information at the moment.
