Fourteen new cases have been reported in Greece bringing the total number of cases to 45, the country's health officials have confirmed, according to Reuters.
A health ministry official said a ban on public gatherings would remain in force in three districts in the south-west of the country, and schools in the same area would remain shut until further notice.
One of the patients, a 66-year old man who had recently returned from a pilgrimage to religious sites in Israel and Egypt, was in a serious condition, the official said.
