Original title: The situation of the new epidemic of the crown of Greece is still serious, the blocking measures cause an increase in online orders
China News Service, November 10, according to Euronet, citing the EUN news agency, as of the night of November 9 local time, statistics from the Greek Ministry of Health show that the number of new deaths in Greece that day it hit another record, reaching 41. Experts believe that Greek authorities are unlikely to reopen restaurants, bars and cross-region travel before Christmas. On the other hand, due to the implementation of national blocking measures, online businesses in Greece are busy and logistics and express companies face increased pressure.
As of the night of the 9th, there were reportedly 1,490 new cases of new corona in Greece, with a total of 58,188 confirmed; 41 new deaths and a total of 825 deaths. Dermizakis, a professor of genetics at the University of Geneva, said that although Greece has implemented a nationwide lockdown, the effect is not yet visible due to the short lockdown period. Expect to see the effectiveness of the lockdown measures in two weeks. He said that due to the spread of the virus before the shutdown, the number of new cases in a single day in Greece will not decrease significantly in the next two weeks, and the number of deaths within four weeks will continue to increase.
Dermizakis emphasized that it is currently impossible to know how long the blockade will last, experts and authorities will observe the trend of the epidemic for 15 days to decide which areas to unlock. If the number of new cases per day decreases and the pressure on the intensive care unit is reduced, primary and secondary schools may reopen in early December and retail stores may open to welcome Christmas and the New Year and promote economic development.
But Dermizakis believes that restaurants and bars are unlikely to reopen before the holiday, and authorities will continue to prohibit people from moving from one region to another before the holiday.
In addition, Martina Pagani, president of the Athens-Piraeus Hospital Association, said that this year the Greeks will spend a Christmas with the family, which can be properly celebrated under the premise of following epidemic prevention measures.
On the other hand, affected by the national closure measures, the consumption patterns of Greeks have changed a lot and online orders have increased.
According to reports, during the period from March to May this year in Greece, due to the substantial increase in the number of online orders and the lack of delivery personnel, buyers generally have to wait longer than before to receive the goods, which led to the Greek consumer commissioner. There are more and more complaints.
Regarding the second round of the national blockade, the Greek express delivery industry said that unless orders increase 100% in a short period of time, the logistics system will perform better than during the first blockade and can handle more delivery needs of customers.
Currently, the top four express companies in Greece basically require that express delivery to the same city can be delivered in one day, and shipments from the same destination area or islands can be delivered within three days.
Take, for example, the express courier company ACS. When the new crown epidemic broke out, the company handled between 110,000 and 120,000 couriers per day; during the spring period, the courier processing volume increased to 140,000; and the current daily processing volume has increased to 16 million pieces.
The person in charge of Skroutz, Greece’s largest online price comparison platform, previously said that in special times, all parties need to be more considered. E-commerce companies must actively deal with these situations and demonstrate that they value the interests of consumers and partners.
According to several e-commerce companies, during the first blackout period, the number of online orders for home products increased significantly, mainly refrigerators, video games and books. (Li Chen)
