The good weather pushed many people to the beaches of Attica, the first weekend after the lifting of the measures for the movement of residents within the prefectures.

Sunlight combined with the relatively high temperature convinced many to wear their swimsuits and swim for the first time, as they are now allowed to swim on disorganized beaches. Alone or with their family, many were those who landed on the sandy beaches of Kavouri, Loutsa and Vouliagmeni and Glyfada.

From May 4, fishing is allowed again from the mainland, as well as the use of private non-motorized marine recreation facilities (canoe, sailboat, kayak). However, organized beaches remain closed for now.

Useful instructions for the beach

“This year it will be as safe to lie on the sand as it was last year, last year, and ten years ago,” said Adamantia Evstratiou, associate professor of marine microbiology in the Department of Marine Biology at Aegean University. new crown in the hot summer sand.

“The corona can” reach “the sand, if a sick person coughs and a few drops sit on its composition. However, the conditions on Greek beaches in the summer with the sun and high temperatures are such that it cannot survive in small sand particles. The survival of a virus that even has lipids, that is, it is even easier to destroy, in a particle of hot sand it is not possible, “he explains, noting that SARS-CoV-2 in the Summer arena “will not survive, even at 10 am”.

Is swimming in the sea dangerous?

As for swimming in the sea, he says we take a normal bath, but the same is true when you are anywhere else.

“What exists is the general problem, that is, what will happen if someone next to us is sick, coughs and is less than a meter and a half away.” However, this is something that we will consider in the context of the general question of the transmission of any microorganism through the drops, “he says and adds:” We will not take the crown of the sea water to get sick. “

And on the beaches we keep our distance

For her part, the assistant professor of coastal zone management at the Department of Oceanography and Marine Sciences, Rania Tzoraki, emphasizes that “maintaining distance is very important and should be observed even on the beach.

“What has been observed so far, at least in large organized beaches, is that for each swimmer in our country, at peak time, there may still be two or four square meters.” We need to know that less than 5 square meters per person, each swimmer expresses dissatisfaction. It has been observed that a minimum of 5 square meters per swimmer should be guaranteed on the beaches with an optimal price of 8 square meters, “he explains, noting that this summer it will be necessary to have changes.
