Only one man, 58 years old, has a bruise on his head.
The injured person was transported to the Milos Health Centre where he was given first aid and is undergoing further examinations.
His state of health is not a cause for concern. The other 17 shipwrecked people went to the Milos Health Centre for a preventive check.
