The four reasons that “blushed” Kozani and caused the closure

In fact, the fact that that day the number of cases soared to 460 because the 114 people positive for the coronavirus found in a factory of Skydra of Pella, left some room for optimism about the spread of cases and their number (346) in the rest of the country. The fact that it took 13 days for the daily number of people positive for the coronavirus to reach the record number with the Skydra influx and not including the corresponding number of influxes, is definitely a negative indication of coronavirus circulation and the rate of transmission of new infections.

There has been a large flow of patients to hospitals in the last 24 hours. They were made 85 imports in various hospitals in the country, most of them in Attica. Similar pressure was registered on the health system in October. with 113 admissions of patients with covid-19 infection in one day.

Also, yesterday turned out to be a difficult day, with heavy the shadow of death στα coronavirus hospitalsas 13 people lost their lives after a tough battle with complications from covid-19 infection. The same scenario had occurred on October 11, when the death of 13 people was also recorded. However, it should be mentioned that the number of intubated patients in the ICU is low, far from a negative performance. Yesterday the intubated were 83, which is far from the record of 101 intubated that was recorded 10 days ago.

In October they were added to the list of deaths due to the coronavirus epidemic in our country 91 people. The corresponding list has 483 people. If you consider that the number of 91 victims had “tormented” the country like a black account for last April, during the first phase of the epidemic, one realizes what the impact of the coronavirus is now. The month with the most deaths since the beginning of the epidemic is September (125).

The four reasons Kozani “blushed”

First local lock, that is, a maximum alarm level 4 and the consequent measures, was imposed in Kozani, possibly signaling what will be born in the coming days in the broader area where a coronavirus outbreak is registered. Apart from Kozani, the Regional Units of Ioannina, Kastoria, Pella New cases are constantly accumulating every day, with more and more people being added to patients with COVID-19 infection, either in hospitals or in isolation at home.

By decision of Civil Protection and with the consent of the Committee of Experts, the Kozani Regional Unit for 14 days passes to level 4 of the Safety and Health Protection Charter, based on which strict restrictions are imposed by suspending the majority of the activities.

The epidemiological burden is heavy in Kozani: 227 active cases, that is, 227 patients with covid-19 infection and 554 contacts of them in restriction.

The Civil Protection decision was based on four factors:

-the highest levels of the cumulative number of new cases per 100,000 population over a period of 14 days that has exceeded the criterion adopted by the EU.

-τη continuous growth course of the daily number of new cases. Only yesterday, Kozani registered 22 new cases with Covid-19 and 3 admissions to the Mamatsio hospital.

-the extensive scattering demonstrated by tracking cases in the community, as evidenced by the more than 220 active cases and their 554 close contacts in isolation.

–the dozens of small groups controlled, but also dangerously dispersed spatially (coronavirus outbreaks) throughout the area.
