Below ordeal In recent days, the Attica health system has been configured, as well as the number of its cases coronavirus it remains very high, while, at the same time, the number of intubated in Intensive care units (ICU), with Attica still registering a very heavy epidemiological burden. In this sense and given the new strict measures taken by the government, the next twenty-four hours are characterized by being particularly critical as to whether or not a blockade will be imposed on Attica.
Although government sources expressed moderate optimism on Wednesday, pointing to some first signs of de-escalation, the figures registered by the National Public Health Organization (EODY) His Daily Report shows that both the number of cases and the number of intubated patients remain high..
It is estimated that the government will wait until next Monday to decide whether and to what extent it will proceed with even stricter measures, that is, even the imposition of a blockade on Attica. However, government sources do not stop repeating that Kyriakos Mitsotakis wants to avoid the possibility of imposing a general blockade.
Factors leading to a new blockage
For his part, Professor of Infectious Diseases Nikos Sypsas, in statements to ANT1, stressed that what worries scientists, especially for the Attica region, is the deterioration of the quality of the data, which are as follows:
- the number of cases
- the number of intubated
- the number of deaths
- the number of imports
- the coverage rate of ICU beds
- the percentage of samples that test positive and
- the R0 index for which he said that in Attica is “a little above-a little below” 1 with “upward trend”
“It just came to our attention then. We must, the citizens and the state, all together, face what lies ahead in Attica,” added Mr. Sypsas.
“It is up to us to avoid the blockage,” microbiology professor Alkiviadis Vatopoulos told Open. At the same time, the professor pointed out that “ewe have a significant increase in intubatedAnd that the health system is under a lot of pressure, while regarding how the capacity of the virus develops, Mr. Vatopoulos stressed that “the disease is not severe from day one, 5 to 6 days can pass lightly and then develop ”. ».
“We are at a crucial point that will decide whether we will remain stable or move towards a large exponential increase in cases, that is, almost doubling every few days,” warned TAkis Panagiotopoulos, professor of public health and member of the expert committee.
Regarding the possible closure, he explained that “what is on the table is not a complete closure but rather a selective suspension of activities and possibly areas. The epidemiological data will show what form they will take ”, explained the professor but gave as an example that these measures could include the reduction of hours of operation or selective and non-police support measures for immigrants and refugees.
