The number of samples tested. |
The Greek National Organization of Public Health publishes daily COVID-19 press releases detailing the number of confirmed cases, deaths and samples tested.
The report refers to the number of clinical samples that have been tested to date since 1 January 2020. This includes the number of samples that tested either positive or negative. Reports are also explicit that the figures relate to samples tested and not the number of people, with figures "including more than one sample per person tested" ("συμπεριλαμβάνονται και περισσότερα από ένα δείγματα ανά άτομο που ελέγχθηκε").
It is not clear whether the data covers all testing in Greece as the source report notes these are "Samples that have been tested in the laboratories cooperating with EODY" ("Δείγματα που έχουν ελεγχθεί στα συνεργαζόμενα με τον ΕΟΔΥ εργαστήρια").
The archived official website provides a [list of daily reports](http://web.archive.org/web/20200531055629/https://eody.gov.gr/epidimiologika-statistika-dedomena/imerisies-ektheseis-covid-19/). The earliest archived report available is from 20 March 2020 when 7,172 clinical samples had been tested since 1 January 2020 with the most recent dated 30 May 2020. From 3 April 2020, daily reports are available via the Greek National Organization of Public Health's [COVID-19 Announcements and press releases](https://eody.gov.gr/category/covid-19).
