The restrictions that began Monday and to which others are added, such as the suspension of all theatrical performances in the open air starting tomorrow Thursday, including performances at the Herodion, are expected to take place by the end of next week, with the goal of is “take no more steps”.

This is the message that both the EKPA Associate Professor of Epidemiology, Gikas Majorkinis, and the Deputy Minister of Civil Protection, Nikos Hardalias, tried to convey yesterday.

They both mentioned that the epidemic in our country is at a particularly critical point, especially in Attica it is in the “orange”, and stressed the importance of faithful observance of the measures. Yesterday was the third highest number of cases since the beginning of the epidemic -346 in number- and the second highest in Attica, which registered 210 new infections with Covid-19.

Mr. Majorkinis expressed concern, noting that the country remains for the second week at a point above 300 cases per day. “Attica remains at the center of the epidemiological outbreak, where at least half of the diagnoses are recorded per day,” he noted.
He added that the 7-day moving average of deaths per day has reached 5 and has approached the equivalent of the first wave.

However, he added that the time to doubling the moving average of deaths per day in the second wave is about four weeks so far, while in the first wave the corresponding average is doubling rapidly every 7 to 10 days. “This clearly slower spread of the day is indicative of a reduction in transmissibility compared to the first wave as a result of measures already taken,” he said.

It is noted that eight additional deaths were recorded yesterday in a 24-hour period.

Mr. Majorkinis reiterated the request that people over 65 years of age limit their contacts to the minimum possible and that their family members be as careful as possible.

Asked by both him and Mr. Hardalias about the possibility of a general closure in Attica or local by the municipalities, both emphasized that we are quite far from that possibility. Especially for local confinements, Hardalias once again emphasized that nowhere has a protocol for local confinement been implemented at the municipal level.

Mr. Majorkinis, in his introductory position, however, spoke about the importance of local interventions, with reasonable prioritization according to social and economic impact. He even referred to the statements of Anthony Fauci, the US head of the coronavirus, who said: “Areas with a high epidemiological burden have the following options: close bars or schools.”
