Regarding active cases, Mr. Hardalias stressed that “we know in which areas the active cases are located. From there, EODY’s announcements give more or less the scheme, in relation to the Regional Units. There is no case that he does not inform himself through the platform and the most important thing is that we know where he is at any time, so that we can monitor his quarantine, be in contact with him and even help if he presents any symptoms. ”From the first moment of the pandemic I remind you that there was a period in which in one day the cases that we had together with the high and low risk contacts in total reached 22,000. So at this moment we are in a much better situation and of course we know exactly all cases ”, stressed the Undersecretary.
“Poros Model” in Lesbos, Zakynthos and Imathia
As reported by Nikos Hardalias, taking into account the epidemiological data of recent days, from Saturday morning at 06:00 hours emergency measures have been imposed in Lesbos and Zakynthos.
In other words, the following measures apply:
- Suspension of any type of event, such as parties, fairs, processions, public markets, etc.

- In the dining areas a maximum number of people at each table is allowed up to 4 people, unless they are first degree relatives where up to 6 people are allowed.
- It is mandatory to wear a mask everywhere, both outdoors and indoors.
At the same time, the special regime is extended for 14 days in Paros, Antiparos, Mykonos, Halkidiki Peripheral Unit and Chania.

- Prohibition of the operation of restaurants and entertainment venues from midnight to 7 in the morning.
- A maximum of 50 people for all public and social events and gatherings, except those to which special rules apply, such as in restaurants, theaters, cinemas.
Concern for “silent actors”
At the same time, Gigas Majorkinis appealed to young people and those returning from vacation, urging them to create a social “bubble”, that is, to meet specific people, to protect vulnerable groups and especially the elderly, to avoid places with congruence and wear a mask.
“The virus in young people usually causes very mild symptoms, so they are not diagnosed and the transmissions of young people are almost impossible to detect. Therefore, when returning from vacation, we must consider ourselves silent actors and try to limit for a period of 7 to 10 days, social contacts and wearing a mask in close contacts. “So if we have the virus and we don’t understand it, which is very likely, we can dramatically reduce the possibility of further transmission to our loved ones.”
For his part, Nikos Hardalias stressed that the systematic use of the mask in all our social contacts can be a savior. He even said that if we all wear a reverent mask for 14 days, the results will be spectacular.
Cases in Attica are in “red”
At the same time, they do not claim to reduce cases in Attica, where the majority of coronavirus infections are registered for one day.
As Mr. Majorkinis said, at this time, given that the incubation time of the disease is 6 to 14 days, there are mainly cases that are related to the period immediately after the August 15 window and the qualitative characteristic of this dispersion is your relationship. with summer vacation.
There is a risk of reinfection in those who have had a coronavirus
Gikas Majorkinis, Assistant Professor of Hygiene and Epidemiology at the EKPA School of Medicine, spoke about reinfection cases and whether those suffering from coronavirus for the second time during today’s briefing.
Responding to a question from in.gr, about the case of the reinfection of the 33-year-old, who was asymptomatic, Mr. Majorkinis explained that “with regard to the reinfected, these are two incidents of which we currently have no complete knowledge. To point out that millions of people in the world have been infected and very few, we have only seen two reinfections ”.
“Its importance at this point has more questions than answers. I don’t think I can answer you whether someone who has died is likely to be reinfected.” The logic is that it will be extremely difficult to re-infect, “he added. 
“There is no possibility of infection, so according to the profile we see now, people who have had it should, in theory, behave like everyone else.” We must not enter into high risk processes. “And that’s because we still don’t understand what is happening to the virus,” he concluded.
Rage Hardalia by the 24-year-old
For the reckless incidents with young people who broke the quarantine to go on vacation, or not even wait for the results due to the coronavirus, as in the case of the 24-year-old, Hardalias spoke.
Responding to a question from in.gr, Mr. Hardalias said that there are dozens of such incidents and even on a daily basis. “Currently in the country we have 3,250 active cases, at the same time their close contacts are another 6 thousand. “What we did in the first phase as civil protection observing quarantines, we continue to do,” he said.
“The case of the 24-year-old is just one example, we have many of those examples. And this is our job, in collaboration with the National Transparency Authority, we do this job every day. And when I refer to individual responsibility, I am not pointing the finger at the Greek citizen. “I am grateful as a person, as a family man, as an active citizen for the effort made by the Greek people,” he stressed and explained that:
“If we stigmatize something, it is such irresponsible behavior. Because there are the vast majority of the world, of these people who fight every day in difficult conditions to cope with, who fight, sacrifice themselves with patience, perseverance and there are the” ready “, the few They did what they do in the first phase of “we stay at home” and now in the second phase of “we stay safe” and the characteristics of those who have such behaviors are very specific “.
“Even its social and economic characteristics are specific. This is not the time to insist on it, nor is it the time to demonize anything. It is about the minimal minority and I want to insist on that. It is not by chance and if it is true, some time ago I found out that the mother of the 24-year-old came out and said there is no coronavirus, ”he stressed. referring to what the 24-year-old’s mother told MEGA.
“All this little movement to challenge what is happening globally that is trying to create, at least the response of each of us is our own behavior. Carry on with perseverance and patience. We won one battle after another. “Civil protection is being able to maintain the security of the country,” he added.
“If the question is” do we have control “, I say” yes “. I look into your eyes and I say yes” we know we can do it. “” Because we rely mainly on people who know more than we do, in epidemiologists for analysis and projections and an excellent team of data analysts, who give us statistics every day so that we can have results, ”said Mr. Hardalias.
“We are here to fight for the safety of Greek citizens. We are not here to simply point the finger at anyone.” We are here to monitor and stigmatize behaviors, which are minimal but endanger public health and rights. Greek citizens who with so much perseverance and patience have made a great effort to stay safe, “he concluded.
“I doubt the virus exists,” the 24-year-old’s mother told MEGA.
“He may be 24 years old but the boy, because he went through a lot, he was very upset, he wanted to leave, my son. Now that it did, it doesn’t change. We will suffer the consequences, but I want them to tell me when they tell the child that when he arrives in Athens he should go directly to Attiko, ”said the mother of the 24-year-old, speaking with MEGA.
“He left Thessaloniki, on the way to the train they informed him that the test is positive, until then, neither to stay in Athens, nor to go to Attiko, nothing,” he added.
“He had no symptoms, he had no fever, they put a thermometer every five minutes,” he explained elsewhere.
“They were taken by ambulance, they had it in the banks, I have the requirement to do a second test, because it is known that Hippocrates made many mistakes in this area,” said the mother.
“She is alone in a room.” Her boyfriend was examined today, “she said of her boyfriend, with whom the 24-year-old traveled.
“Attiko came to 4 instead of 10. I spoke with a nurse. The girl’s clinical picture is good, she has a fever, they will do a cardiogram and blood tests and she will undergo dialysis. “They told me that the treating doctor would contact me to ask for a history,” he said.
“Out of outrage. Starting at 8.5 years old, the child suffers in hospitals. He has never gone anywhere, and due to negligence … we will suffer the consequences.” It happened and the situation does not change, “he said. 
“With everything we hear, now we have doubts about whether the coronavirus exists. With no symptoms, I don’t understand how the test came back positive. The first mistake was made by Hippocrates.” The boy was put on dialysis 3 months ago, why not him did they test for coronavirus first? “he asked in a bold style.
“Why was he not tested for the coronavirus in the port of Piraeus?” he insisted.
“I demand that my daughter repeat the test. They only told her it was positive, they didn’t tell her anything else. She received no instructions ”, she concluded.
