Koronovios – Dermitzakis: night lockdown everywhere, otherwise young people will go to neighboring prefectures to have fun | HELLAS

Genetics professor Manolis Dermitzakis noted today that the measures taken to prevent further spread of the coronavirus are mild and should have been more drastic.

The Prime Minister announced the mandatory use of the mask outdoors and indoors in orange and red areas, as well as a curfew from 00:30 to 05:00 in the morning. «It seemed that the situation would get worse. We saw in other countries that cases escaped. “If we had taken the measures earlier and throughout the territory, we would have had many more weapons and we would not have had an impact on the economy,” the professor told OPEN.

“I’m worried about it all the territory is not covered. We know that many will try to avoid them and move to other areas. Especially young people. Yesterday someone told me that young people will leave Patras, go to Nafpaktos to have fun and return at 6 in the morning. So we are not covered because the only thing that can be done is to infect the other areas as well. It is not even a mild block. What prevents this is more directly the social gatherings in squares and other places, where people are not coordinated.

“We need more courageous measures for the coronavirus”

We need more courageous measures. I think they should have been taken earlier. Since they were not taken before, they must be taken to the entire territory. The second level is planning, coordinating the activities that take place during the day. Further strengthen teleworking and organize activities. So that the results are more coordinated. It is imperative to make an appointment in any process, even to go to a clothing store to buy something. Reduce overcrowdingin general “.

He was clear about the color gradation of the shells and the separation of the country: “The orange and red areas are not working properly. They are small areas. They are not entire states, as they are in the United States, for example. Here, in half an hour, anyone can move and change areas. Thus, the measures escape. The areas are so small that they don’t give us results. It is no longer done locally. We come out of this phase, ”Mr. Dermitzakis stressed.
