The “red” alarm has meant since yesterday in Greece after the explosion of cases and the negative record of 372 new cases of the deadly virus in our country.
Today, the numbers were lower than the day before, but remained consistently high, at a time when all eyes were on Attica and the area’s record of negative cases. Specifically, Attica currently had 158 cases, the majority since the outbreak of the pandemic in our country.
Indicative of how difficult the situation in Attica is is the fact that in just 5 days Attica counts 555 cases. 
The numerous cases in Attica are of great concern to specialists, as schools are open on Mondays and the situation can become even more difficult.
However, it is not only Attica that causes headaches for the country’s scientists, as there are still some regional units, in which a large number of cases have been registered in recent days.
The Deputy Minister of Civil Protection, Nikos Hardalias, also spoke about the situation in Attica during today’s briefing. “There is a peculiarity for both Attica and Thessaloniki.” There, the ‘overpopulation’ in relation to the rest of the country, generates other data in relation to the operation of the algorithm, “he said.
“Obviously it concerns us, obviously we are seeing it, there is a specific strategy in this regard, we have tools and measures in the quiver, but all this will be used at the right time, if necessary,” he added.
The stage for the use of universal masks
In any case, scientists leave open the possibility of a universal use of the mask, if the image worsens. In practice, both the scientists of the Ministry of Health commission and government officials deny -for the moment- this measure, however they do not rule it out, if the situation in the country worsens much.
The words of the Deputy Minister of Civil Protection, Nikos Hardalias, in today’s briefing on the deadly virus are indicative. Generally, according to Mr. Hardalias, the measures in all areas that have been imposed will be reviewed every three days and, depending on the epidemiological picture of each area, the next movements will be decided.
“For the universal use of a mask, if we see heavier images, it is something we could think of. It has already been implemented in some areas,” said Mr. Majorkinis, answering your question. in.gr. 
Areas in focus
Along with Attica in the distressed areas are Crete, East Macedonia and Thrace, Thessaloniki. Larissa, Corfu, Karditsa, Santorini, Volos and Kos. In these areas the closure of restaurants is maintained at 00:00 hours, while meetings of more than 50 people are prohibited.
Lesbos, Zakynthos, Mykonos, Halkidiki, Chania, and Heraklion still remain in mini-lock mode. On the contrary, the epidemiological panorama in Paros and Antiparos is better and that is why they are emerging from the mini-blockade of 09/15.
In the “red” Pella, Pieria and Lesbos
It is observed that Pella, Pieria and Lesbos are the three regions of the country that have received the highest viral load and therefore the highest epidemiological impact in the last ten days, as reflected in the number of confirmed cases.
According to EODY data, in the three specific regional units since the beginning of the month more than 50 positive cases per 100,000 inhabitants were registered. Which gives them the top three spots in the current phase of the epidemic.
This happened because in the Macedonian regions, the frenzied transmission of the murder started from the fruit processing factory in Giannitsa, as the hundreds of workers are said to come from the neighboring prefectures in Pella. On the other hand, in Lesbos, the situation escaped due to the cases that were confirmed to the refugees in the destroyed – now – Moria camp.
