Koronoios: When will the stores open?

If the measures are followed and scientists give them the green light, then it is possible, according to The News, in the first week of May to see the first gradual implementation of some measures, and certainly not all.

According to a report by Ton Neon, small shops are most likely to open first, between these opticians and hairdressers, while in the second year restaurants will be updated and in the third year department stores.

Regarding the traffic ban, the goal is to abolish SMS sending since, of course, some companies open first.

According to what the Prime Minister said in a conference call with great Greek athletes, the sport will be one of the first activities that will be allowed when the quarantine relaxation begins.

Finally, regarding the movement of citizens, the most likely scenario is to allow movement within the cities first and in the second year in the province.

Speaking to Open, government spokesman Stelios Petsas said: “We are not a police state. We trust persuasion,” an attitude that reflects the prevailing climate in Maximos. In addition, the government makes it clear every time that the movement of family or friends is not allowed.

The critical period that will judge everything

However, the immediate objective that the government wants to achieve is to keep the situation under control and not relax the majority of citizens on Easter days.

However, the car traffic ban has yet to be confirmed. on Saturday and Easter Sunday, although the proposal is on the table. There is great concern about the image that will prevail in the churches from Holy Thursday to Holy Saturday and the night of the Resurrection and it is announced that the controls will be intensified and the patrols will be strengthened.

Sypsas: Actions must be taken with religious reverence

Easter is considered very critical for the course of the crown in Greece.

This is for two reasons, as explained by Mr. Nikos Sypsas, infectious disease specialist and member of the Corona Committee, in the “MEGA Time Society” program.

The first reason is that we are going through a peak period of the epidemic, so a recession is expected next week.

The second reason this week is crucial has to do with the Easter period and habits. If we do not pay attention and we do not observe the measures with religious piety, then we can see an escalation of the crown, warns Mr. Sypsas.

If people don’t follow restrictive measures and see large groups indoors, then the risk of spreading the virus in the community increases. The first negative results will appear after 10-15 days.

“This means that in May we will see coronavirus cases re-emerge in Greece,” warned Mr. Sypsas, among other things.

Announced an information campaign on the correct ways to wear the mask.

Tsiodras: the criteria that will lead to the lifting of the measures

The reduction of contagion, the resistance of the health system, the control of the chimneys and the registration of immunity are the main parameters for the gradual lifting of the measures.

As the infectious diseases professor, Mr. Sotisis Tsiodras pointed out yesterday, he does not expect to see zero cases to relax the measures.

The first criterion is contagious for elevation measurements. The main numerical indicator for the calculation is R0, which represents the average number of people who will contract a person’s disease.

The second parameter is the strength of the health system,

while the third is the careful control of virus outbreaks, which is directly related to the appearance or not of many cases.
Finally, the fourth is, of course, immunity, for which scientists are learning something new every day. “Everyone says that we are transcribing the virus on various scales, but no one has the data. And this data can vary from one region to region. And the heterogeneity of the disease is enormous, right now, across Europe. You will have seen it, you will have seen it, “says Mr Tsiodras.

Hardals: our choices will determine developments

For his part, the undersecretary of Civil Protection, Nikos Hardalias, caught the attention of citizens this week, which he described as the most critical.

“Our choices will determine developments and will determine how fast and whether we can get our lives back,” he said, adding: “If some people want to take responsibility for going back to the beginning, they should.”

The Commission’s plan to lift the blockade in Europe

The Commission has presented a map for the preparation of a coordinated exit from the restrictive measures and to avoid mistakes that could lead to the start of the new crown pandemic.

The recommendations were expected to be announced last week, but the time was premature, and Commission President Ursula von der Leyen postponed her press conference to Wednesday.

This roadmap establishes three exit criteria: a prolonged reduction in the spread of the virus, a well-equipped health system to deal with an increase in infections after the removal of measures, and an adequate capacity for testing.

The European Executive Authority insists on coordination between Member States. The outbreak of the epidemic had sparked widespread national tensions, either because of the closure of the borders or because of the decision by some countries, such as Germany and France, to ban the export of protective equipment before a consensus was finally reached.

To end isolation measures, the Commission especially highlights the importance of mobile phone applications for detection, which “can help stop the chain of transmission of infection more quickly and efficiently than restrictive measures” . They should be based “on the consent of the user and fully respect the EU rules on confidentiality and personal data”, according to the Commission, which has prepared a “toolbox” in this regard.

The proposal for a total ban on traffic on Easter night and Easter Sunday is still on the table and is likely to be activated if necessary, but it is the last resort to avoid travel and congestion that could change developments data. of the epidemiological curve.
