The government’s decision for the widespread use of a mask in Attica prefecture appears to have been made, according to the MEGA, in the event that there is no drastic reduction in the incidence of the coronavirus in the coming days.
In accordance with MEGA The next measure to be taken in Attica to deal with the coronavirus is the wearing of a mask everywhere. Both indoors and outdoors in the Region where the majority of cases are recorded throughout the country.
The measure of the mask has fallen on the table and the relevant decision is expected in the coming days, while it will be interesting when it will be activated, something that will depend on the epidemiological indicators that we see daily and the course of the coronavirus.
In fact, if there is no drastic reduction in cases in the coming days, the government will implement this measure. With regard to public transport, it is an issue that the government is considering and decisions are awaited there as well.

What does Sypsas respond to the deniers of the mask?
There are many who react to the use of the mask, especially in schools, while we have also had marches in Thessaloniki and other areas for its deniers, who question the seriousness of the coronavirus.
Nikos Sypsas responds through the main ANT1 newsletter and emphasizes that “regarding the change of opinion of the committee on the use of mask, I want you to know that this depends on two factors. The first is the epidemiological situation of the country and the second is the data from the large studies carried out worldwide.

We also wanted to protect medical masks, but we could suggest non-medical ones. The reason we didn’t do it is because we believed that when we had curfew, the call emergency shutdown, the benefits of the mask were much less than now that the man moves freely abroad. So when our society opened in May we asked in many places and especially when the distance of two meters cannot be observed, the use of a mask. And when we had the big boom in August, we made the mask mandatory in many places. “
For children, Mr. Sypsas noted that “schools are closed structures and the virus can spread very easily. Therefore, an asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic child could easily transmit the coronavirus. So the mask protects the classroom and the school operation. It has been proven around the world whether a child is safe to wear a mask. We can use the mask safely for more than 2 years. ”

“Grandparents and vulnerable people must do the right thing. That is, let the child go to school and take the precautionary measures themselves. That is, no hugs, no kisses, separate room, good ventilation. Wear a mask when the child is present and when approaching school. Unfortunately we have to choose. Do we want our children to go to school or not? Will we make some sacrifices for the child to go to school or not? This is very important because distance education does not always work and when it works it is in favor of expensive schools and not marginal neighborhoods ”, clarified Mr. Sypsas.
Vasilakopoulos: The spread of the virus is unprecedented
He spoke of coronavirus cases in his main newsletter Alpha Professor Theodoros Vasilakopoulos emphasizing that “The spread of the virus is unprecedented and the pandemic has reached such proportions. That is why I would like to tell those who react to the measures that have been announced to think twice and three times. We have 42 intubated people, that is, 40% of what we had in spring, of course with the open society. “If we continue to be careless, unfortunately, the system will quickly reach its limits.”

Regarding the reactions of catering professionals to the closure of restaurants and bars at midnight, he highlighted: “This measure has worked since the R index has clearly fallen below unity and instead of having 280 or 290 boxes per day and we have under 200. However, this measure would not have to be taken if we had been disciplined in the past. They said free time, but not stop to dance crowded. We were not disciplined and we had to take the next step which is unbearable. That is, do not drink too much, relax and leave hugged and in danger. If we implement the measures, we will not need to take other measures. “
Cases show stability in recent days and when asked if we are close to lifting some measures, Vasilakopoulos noted. “If this positive trend continues, I believe that the government will gradually begin to lift each of the measures. Of course we have to wait for the schools in the hope that this opening does not affect the epidemic.”
