Dramatic weeks ahead: When will the “mask everywhere” go live
The coronavirus continues to spread in our country and especially in Attica with winter just around the corner, something that makes the coming weeks even more critical.
As stated during the briefing on Tuesday Gikas Majorkinis, «with the arrival of winter we expect a significant increase in transmission “, something that, as he said, we see today in other European countries where the temperature is up to 10 degrees Celsius lower than in our country, which also favors interior painting conditions.
It is estimated that the drop in temperature is associated with an increase in new cases of coronavirus, he added and called on everyone to take action because, as he said, we expect something similar to happen in our country, whenever the climate deteriorates and the temperature drops. .
Concern for Attica
Majorkinis emphasized that above 50% of new cases now refer to Attica adding that Greece entered the second wave of the pandemic in the first ten days of August. In fact, he stressed, commenting on the course of the pandemic in our country, that “Greece is in an intermediate epidemiological situation, relatively mild, compared to other European countries, and in recent weeks we have 200 to 400 cases per day.”
However, he pointed out that the frequency of days with more than 5 deaths a day has increased, as well as the number of intubated patients, which now remains stable at more than 80. According to him, 87 are intubated.
As he explained, the response of the measures to the epidemiological burden and the registration of cases is slower when it comes to large areas such as Attica, but he noted that “We have yet to see an uptrend that concerns us, we have a slow growth rate at the moment” that scientists are monitoring, without actually having to suggest additional measures.
Majorkinis reiterated for Attica that “There is a very strong recommendation to wear a mask everywhere, where there is congestion” regardless of whether they are indoor outdoor spaces, as suggested.
Why universal use of a mask is not required in Attica
Asked why mandatory use of a mask in other epidemiologically affected areas such as Acaya and not in Attica the Vice Minister of Civil Protection and Crisis Management Nikos Hardals He said for his part that based on his experience all summer is more cautious and stricter in areas with lower strengths and capacities of the health system always compared to Athens. “The data are completely different in each region, especially because in Ioannina and Patras there are clear indications of supralocal on the one hand and local dispersion”, He pointed out that 89 out of 101 active cases were detected in Ioannina in the broader area of the municipality of Ioannina while 83 cases were identified throughout Achaia, of which 52 were in the capital, in the municipality of Patras and in fact the rest were found. scattered in Achaia. “With a large number of contacts and movements between municipalities and with several of them health profile with all means for the protection of our health units.”
Asked whether they are satisfied with the effectiveness of the measures imposed, Mr. Hardalias said that get ready for every scenario. “From the day the measures were implemented the curve remains flat We do not have aggressive growth trends, so every day we evaluate, observe and judge the progress of the measures and if necessary, we emerge and see other factors that will affect, which is the weather, then we will use other tools. In any case, what we need is to insist on the existing measures. This must be the central idea, this must be our daily commitment at all levels, to adhere to the measures and through this process and the focused effort that we make in neighborhoods, areas, in specific social groups and not only. the results will be further improved. This is what is expected of us and in any case we seek the best “, make a note of.
“In each case, we weight the data every three days and the issue of measurements is a dynamic issue based on many parameters.” We would rather be more strict until we seal certain scattered epidemiological circles than go into any other process. “noted Mr. Hardalias.
