There is a lot of concern about the coronavirus and the evolution of the pandemic in the country.
The next few days, until the first ten days of November, will show if the measures helped and the epidemic is reduced. If the cases do not show a decrease, then all the scenarios for new measures are on the table, with the only thing that is categorically ruled out being the horizontal blockade.
More than 1,000 cases of coronavirus today
Today, based on what EODY President Panagiotis Arkoumaneas stated, it is possible that more than 1,000 cases of coronavirus will be announced.
“Lately there has been a strong upward trend, last week we had reached more than 900, within the week it is more likely that we will reach four digits, more than 1,000 cases,” Arkoumaneas said, regarding the course of the coronavirus.
Asked in an interview with Real FM if this would happen today, he replied that “it is very possible that it will happen today.”
But government spokesman Stelios Petsas said in an interview that it is possible in the coming days to see more than 1,000 cases a day.
However, it should be noted that, at the same time, both EINAP’s Matina Pagoni and Charalambos Gogos expressed their great concern about the availability of ICU beds.
Coronavirus: what areas are of concern
As Mr. Arkoumaneas said, “Thessaloniki has had a big increase lately, we have Ioannina, Serres, Kastoria. There are many new areas and areas that we can see in the near future,” he underlined and concluded: “The next few days will be difficult, because At first we do not see the effectiveness of the implementation of the measures, so we will have increasing trends in the number of cases in the coming days. “
What new measures are being discussed to reduce the coronavirus?
According to state television, experts will develop new measures in case they do not see a significant reduction in cases for the first ten days of November, one of them being an additional reduction in hours for some catering categories. However, there is no general lockdown, as the EODY vice president emphasized.
“The general lockdown, the last resort, would damage the economy. The consequences of such a move will have painful consequences. It would be a last resort,” said George Panagiotakopoulos characteristically.
At the table new traffic restrictions, catering, entertainment.
The most important news, however, came from the lips of the professor of Microbiology and member of the committee of scientists of the coronavirus Athanasios Tsakris. Speaking to R / S SKAI 100.3, Mr. Tsakris stated that the committee has already suggested a restriction on the opening hours of restaurants and nightclubs.
Mr. Tsakris stated that in the immediate future it will be considered that the cessation (prohibition) of the traffic will take place before 00:30, noting that it is one of the measures recommended by the committee. In addition, he mentioned the possibility of deciding to stop certain entertainment activities.
Regarding the approach, he stressed that “it is one of the measures that will probably be discussed today or in the coming days, before we see an increase in incidents.” The professor then highlighted that “we must not forget that the capacities of the health system in our country, no matter how much they have improved, are limited. “If we have an aggressive increase in cases, then we will not be able to respond.”
