Today, in the early morning hours, after a decision of the doctors of the Intensive Care Unit of “Evangelismos” hospital, the tracheostomy that the abbot of the Vatopedi Monastery, Ephraim, had undergone was removed.
After today’s extubation, Abbot Ephraim will remain in the ICU for a few days for follow-up by his treating doctors.
The Abbot has complete clarity and is responsive.
It should be reminded that Abbot Ephraim has been in the “Evangelismos” Hospital since May 28 after he tested positive for the coronavirus, while on June 4, the doctors had deemed his intubation necessary.
