The coronavirus remains at alarmingly high levels in our country, with the number of daily cases stabilizing at more than 300 and close to 400 cases per day, at a time when more than half, as daily, are in Attica.
Today, the basin tallied 194 cases of the deadly virus, at a time when both Kozani and Ioannina had alarming numbers. In fact, a mini-blockade was imposed in the last two areas. According to the scientists, Attica is at an orange level, one step before the “red” alarm.
This was confirmed by the president of the Panhellenic Medical Association and member of the committee for the coronavirus, Athanasios Exadaktylos, speaking with MEGA. Attica is not in the “red”, it is in the “orange”. If it were in “red” the situation would be completely different, “he said characteristically, adding that” we believe that we will have a performance of the measures and in Attica we will see that the picture changes for the better. You need patience. “
As for when we should expect an improvement in the situation in Attica, he said that “the limit is constantly changing. When the numbers are large, it takes longer to see them stabilize first and then decrease. So I don’t have to tell you a number specific number of days it will take. What we can say is that Attica is in “orange”, it needs vigilance, and with the faithful observance of the measures we expect a positive development. “
Attica’s “traps”
However, the situation in Attica contains several “pitfalls” for scientists.
“We hope that in large urban centers, such as Attica, the epidemic will be much more difficult to control. The response of these centers to the measures is slower,” said the professor, Gikas Majorkinis, yesterday during the information on the course of the virus mortal.
This is also the reason why experts expect that… the leveling of the curve in Attica will take longer than usual recorded in other parts of the Region.
As an indication, they say that if, for example, if it took about a month for an area of the province, Attica requires at least twice as long, from the moment the measures were implemented.
