The majority (80%) of new Covid-19 cases concern people under the age of 39, according to government spokespers­on Aristoteli­a Peloni. Speaking during her daily briefing of the media yesterday, Peloni said that the average age of new cases currently stands at 26 years old and that one in two patients is under 54 years old. By comparison, she noted, at the end of March seven out of 10 cases concerned people over the age of 55.

A 30-year-old man who confessed to killing his 26-year-old girlfriend on Friday by pushing her off a cliff on the Aegean island of Folegandro­s reportedly did so in a fit of rage after they lost their way in their car “because she was not looking at the GPS,” state-run broadcaste­r ERT has reported. According to reports, the car swerved off the road near the beach of Lygaria in the northern part of the island and the pair got out to argue. The perpetrato­r claimed that after pushing the woman off the cliff he climbed down to help her but found her dead. The cause of death, according to a coroner’s report, was drowning. The body had multiple injuries, apparently from striking rocks. Fishermen spotted the young woman’s body floating close to the beach shortly after she was pushed over the cliff, while her boyfriend was found several hours later, apparently wandering aimlessly. The victim was from a village near the city of Corinth in the Peloponnes­e. She and her eventual murderer had gone to Folegandro­s on a camping holiday.
