In Cyprus, health authorities have temporarily suspended a private clinic in Nicosia after Legionella pneumophila was diagnosed in a newborn. Preliminary tests confirmed the bacteria in the facility’s water supply. As a precaution, all newborns from the clinic were transferred to other hospitals, including the neonatal intensive care unit at Makarios Hospital. Authorities have increased epidemiological surveillance and environmental inspections.

In Greece, an explosion occurred at the Motor Oil refinery in Agios Theodoros, Corinth, during maintenance work. Two contract workers suffered burns and multiple injuries, requiring transport to Corinth Hospital. This incident follows a separate fatal accident at the same facility on October 9 that resulted in two deaths.
