The changes in the map of health security and protection against Covid-19 infection will take effect as of today, Monday, October 26, as announced today by the Deputy Minister of Civil Protection and Crisis Management, Nikos Hardalias, during the informative talk. on the course of the pandemic in our country.
As of Monday, October 26, the alarm level increases in the peripheral units of Arta, Evros, Ilia, Thesprotia, Kavala and Sporades, which go up and go to level 2 (surveillance) from level 1 (Readiness), that is , these areas of the green areas turn yellow. However, Hardals clarified that, in the case of the Sporades, the upgrade concerns only the island of Skiathos and not Skopelos and Alonissos, which remain green. Skiathos then goes to level 2 (Vigilance) while Skopelos and Alonissos remain at level 1 (Preparation).
At the same time, the committee of epidemiologists decided that as of Monday, October 26, the alarm level should be lowered in the following areas: The Regional Units of Acaya, Heraklion Crete, Karditsa, Lesbos, Mykonos, Pella and Samos, which was in the level 3 (Greater vigilance), orange), their alarm level decreases and they go to level 2, that is, yellow. As for the Attica Islands, the regional unit of the Attic Islands -although they belong to the Attica region- given their non-spatial proximity to the metropolitan continental units, they go from orange to yellow, that is, they drop from level 3 and they go to level 2. However, this does not apply to Salamis, an island associated with travel to and from Piraeus. At level 1 (Preparation) of level 2 where they were (Vigilance), in green from yellow, the regional units of Grevena, Laconia and Paros go down and pass. Also at level 1 from level 3 they were, that is, they turn orange green, the prefectures of Zakynthos and Kea-Kythnos go from Monday, that is, they go down from level 3 (Increased vigilance) to level 1 (Preparation) .
At the same time, it is recalled that on Wednesday, October 21, the epidemiological picture of all the regional units of the country was evaluated and the alarm level in each one of them was updated by the competent committee of epidemiologists of the Ministry of Health. According to the data that emerged this morning, the Kastoria regional unit rose to level 4 (Highest risk) while the Thessaloniki, Viotia, Larissa and Serres regional units rose and went to level 3 (Greater vigilance).
Then the alarm level changes in 24 of the 74 total regional units of our country, with 13 regional units showing a better panorama and lowering the alarm level, while in 11 regional units the viral load increases and consequently the alarm level. .
As of Monday, October 26, the map image is as follows:
- 25 regional units at level 1 (preparation) 14 days ago were 26
- 33 Regional Units at level 2 (Surveillance) 14 days ago were 25
- 14 Regional Units at level 3 (Greater Vigilance) 14 days ago were 23
- 2 peripheral units at level 4 (increased risk) no area was on this alert 14 days ago.
Finally, as Mr. Hardalias pointed out, the Commission has decided on the level of alarm and the measures to be applied in the island complexes, as of next Wednesday relevant decisions will no longer be made at the regional unit level but at the island level, as that there are cases where the epidemiological panorama varies considerably from one island to another, so imposing the same measures on everyone is neither fair nor appropriate.
As for Ioannina, they remain at level 3 for now, however the situation will be reassessed on Saturday, October 24.
What about wearing a mask in cars? Motorcycles
- In taxis the mask is mandatory for the driver and customers.
- In the car, the mask is not mandatory only if the driver and passengers are first-class relatives.
- In any other case, the driver and passengers must wear a mask.
- The use of the mask is also mandatory in commercial vehicles when there are passengers.
In terms of motorcycles When asked by Skaigr, GPP stated that a driver and passenger must wear a helmet, so the mask inside the helmet is not mandatory.
It is recalled that in the “yellow” areas the maximum number of passengers in a car is 4 people, while in the “red” areas 3.
