The Greek health authorities are willing to block Thessaloniki as part of measures to limit the spread of Covid-19. The area is the area most affected by the coronavirus. During the last two days, the positive samples are 1288. Starting tomorrow, the quarantine will take effect in the Attica region and northern Greece.
The mayor of Thessaloniki asked the government to introduce full quarantine at night from 20:00 to 5:00 in the morning. It insists on the prohibition of entering and leaving the city.
“We are in a state of war,” said Mayor Konstantinos Zervas, again calling for full and strict compliance. The number of infected in Thessaloniki exceeded that of the larger Attica region. Positive samples exceeded 11%, according to Covid statistics.
Due to the critical situation in Thessaloniki, the Greek Ministry of Health has activated an emergency plan. Helicopters are ready to transfer coronavirus patients from Thessaloniki to other parts of the country, where there are places in specialized hospital wards.
Today, the Minister of Health arrives in Thessaloniki urgently, and at the end of the day an emergency evening hour and a traffic ban outside Thessaloniki are expected.
