Health authorities in Greece have confirmed three cases of leptospirosis on the island of Zakynthos, including one fatality. A team from EODY (the National Public Health Organization) is traveling to Zakynthos to investigate, and a broad emergency meeting is scheduled for Monday, April 27. Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection typically spread through contact with water or soil contaminated by infected animal urine. Tourists visiting Zakynthos or other Greek islands should avoid swimming in stagnant freshwater, rivers, or flooded areas, and wear protective footwear in muddy or wet environments. If you experience fever, muscle pain, or jaundice after potential exposure, seek medical attention promptly. This outbreak is currently reported in Zakynthos and has not been linked to Crete.
