A new package of measures is expected to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, according to your information Newsbomb.gr, which will be announced during the day by the Vice Minister of Civil Protection, Nikos Hardalias.
The situation in Attica may not be suffocating due to the increase in cases, but it is certainly cause for concern. In this context, new measures are expected from time to time that will not be part of the blockade but will come as a complement to the existing ones.
According to the information, Nikos Hardalias, today, will probably announce measures that will refer to the effort to avoid overcrowding, with the scenario that acquires more possibilities to be that of the prohibition of the sale of alcohol in kiosks, or the compliance with schedules at kiosks and convenience stores.
The new measures before the closure
The new measures were announced by Mr. Nikos Sypsas, in statements to MEGA, characteristically noting that “the measures taken by the government as of September 10, have already given some effect to the epidemic. If the measures continue to work if we add new measures, we will probably add“Then we will see a leveling out of the epidemic, which is the first step before the recession,” he said.
Experts insist that additional measures should be taken, despite the fact that in the last meeting with the Prime Minister, they found positive signs of the evolution of the pandemic in Attica.
The 4 new measures to come
According to ERT, there are four measures that experts are said to be working on, with the first two appearing to be the most frequent.
- First the use of mask in all outdoor areas. It’s a measure that infectious disease experts have long been openly proposing, believing it will further reduce the spread of the pandemic.
- Second, the traffic restriction from midnight to 6:00 in the morning, where only SMS movement will be allowed.
- In third place, send SMS for the movement of all citizens over 65 years of age.
- Fourth, the compliance with schedules in kiosks and convenience stores so that there is no mass of young people in the squares.
SMS, as well as the opening hours at kiosks and convenience stores are on the table, but according to the information, they are not approved by the government.
The crowds in the squares are worried
From the day the new measures were introduced to prohibit gatherings of more than nine people, the picture is presented again with crowded squares where mainly young people meet and drink alcohol after 12 at night, when bars and restaurants close.
The possibility of opening the kiosks is likely to prevent young people from buying alcohol, but this can provoke reactions from workers in the industry. Therefore, it can be done simply recommendation do not sell alcoholic beverages after midnight.
According to ERT, it is also possible that there will be one in the coming weeks extension of the opening hours of health stores, in order to better guarantee public health and avoid overcrowding.
Why didn’t Mitsotakis … press the button
The “end of messages” was described by some government officials on Thursday afternoon, all the prime minister said. Kyriakos Mitsotakis, aimed at citizens. How the confinement “burned”, how, when and why it will fall back on the table.
If we can sum up the Prime Minister’s message in one sentence, it would be “Self-protection or quarantine”. While in the last 24 hours the lockdown scenarios in Attica, which were maintained by some government officials, gave and took, A few hours before the Prime Minister’s message, it became clear that the government had decided not to press the button.
There are two reasons. On the one hand, as Mr. Mitsotakis said, the healthcare system has not been under so much pressure that such drastic measures are required, while on the other hand, even if resources are available To support such a decision, the damage to the economy would be very great, given that Attica is home to 50% of the country’s population.
How is he able to know Newsbomb.grThe opinion of the members of the health committee consulted by the Prime Minister, headed by Sotiris Tsiodras, is similar. “Mr. Tsiodras participates in the meetings, expresses his opinion and the Prime Minister trusts him”, transfers to Newsbomb.gr senior government official.
How we got to the Mitsotakis message
The government has been preparing for any eventuality for a long time, especially in recent weeks when the situation in Attica has been visibly tense. Therefore, he has discussed any possibility with the infectious diseases committee. A local block was among the options that had fallen on the table. This was also said by the government spokesman in interviews with television stations.
The discussions, which actually took place in the Palace of the Maxims, set a horizon for further action to be taken during the spread of the coronavirus in Attica, next week with a possible announcement day next Friday.
After all, it was obvious that planning had advanced and the state was ready. Finance Minister Christos Staikouras noted that the economy will endure and how the necessary resources have been secured, while planning had already advanced so that citizens are electronically informed about the measures that will be in force in their field.
However, in the end, the scenario was not implemented for the time being, for the reasons mentioned above. After all, as it was seen in the briefing of the government representative, there is moderate optimism in the government field about the course of the pandemic in our country.
“We could have reached 1,600 cases a day”said Mr. Petsas, during the journalists’ briefing, but thanks to the measures that have been taken, we have stabilized in 350 cases.
“The better epidemiological outlook in Greece should not lead to complacency,” he said, adding that measures are determined by the course of epidemiological data. The cases, despite the measures taken since July, have stabilized but are high, especially in Attica. To avoid tougher measures we must follow what we decided. Masks indoors and in public transport », he said.
