The smell of new meters hangs over Attica in the last hours, vertical increase in new cases, which now total more than 200 per day, but also its over-concentration in the basin, makes the country’s largest region face tougher protection measures.
Pending the execution of the last package, but also the evolution of the learning process in the first days after the first school bell, government personnel are working in various scenarios, with the aim of drastically stopping the transmission of the virus. in the Greek capital, when only today 322 domestic cases were reported, of which 212 in Attica.
The high transmission rates of the coronavirus in the Attica region Infectious disease specialists have also been seriously concerned., at a time when the voices of the medical world are seeing that the number of cases goes back to the “days of March”.
“High level of risk” due to ICU
In this context, “it is a fact that some areas of our country are already in orange and we must move before the red light turns on,” the government spokesman said today. Stelios Petsas, including the Attica region, which is currently at moderate to high epidemiological risk.
According to the government spokesman, the Attica region shows daily about 3 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, which classifies it as a moderate risk level. At the same time, however, Attica is showing an increased load on ICU beds, with about 2 in 3 being occupied, a fact that puts her at high risk.
“This deterioration led the government to decide to proceed, listening to the suggestions of experts, to take additional measures for Attica.” said Mr. Petsas, warning that “Let’s all take care, following the measures recommended by the experts, to stop the increase in cases that we see in recent days“Because otherwise, “The social and economic costs will be higher.”
In fact, opening a window to tighten the protection framework in the basin, the government spokesman said in all directions that “For us, public health does not weigh itself. The Government has taken and will take, each time, the measures that are necessary”, that is, “if we have an improvement, the emergency measures can be withdrawn. If we have a deterioration , can, as is happening now in Attica, intensify “, he concluded.
Attica is getting worse
The Minister of Health took another step towards the new measures, Vassilis Kikilias, who also announced new restrictions for the basin.
Speaking to Mega TV, the Minister of Health publicly admitted that “I am concerned about Attica and its image and that is why we are preparing “, revealing indirectly but clearly the preparations for the imposition of new restrictive measures in the region in general. Furthermore, Mr. Kikilias described how “As the data and indicators deteriorate, this suggests that further action may be needed.” There is pressure and things are getting worse in Attica and that is why action will be needed. “ in fact, twenty-four hours after the adoption of new measures, with the rise of social and cultural activities.
the intensification of protection measures dictates the fact of covering a large percentage of the ICUs available for coronavirus patients in Attica, since of the 75 beds in total, only 22 are available at the moment, necessarily creating strong pressure on the National Health System.
The great spread of the disease in the basin, in contrast to, for example, Thessaloniki which ecomes second with only 18 cases it has to do with the spread of the virus from asymptomatic patients and, on the other hand, with the increase in cases, which did not decrease due to the summer, as originally expected.
