The new measures in our country are now a path after the negative records that are registered both in the number of daily cases and in the imports of intubated in our country.
The NSS is under strong pressure in recent days, as in addition to the cases that reached 1,547 yesterday, the number of patients has also increased rapidly, reaching 1,000 throughout the country.
At the same time, the number of coronaviruses intubated in our country remains above 100 (specifically 108), while hospital admissions in the last 24 hours are more than ever.
Infectious disease specialists know that to stop the spread of the coronavirus mainly in northern Greece, which is currently the epicenter of the virus, but also to protect the NSS for the difficult month ahead, action must be taken as soon as possible. 
The weapons in his quiver are many and are expected to be put on the table both at his lecture today and at the Prime Minister’s briefing at the Palace of the Maxims.
In fact, the infectious diseases committee from now on will meet daily, in order to constantly monitor the epidemiological data of our country.
And while Sotiris Tsiodras in his briefing this Tuesday, gave a small sample of the new measures that will most likely be announced in the coming hours – such as reducing the volume of music in restaurants – in fact it seems that the experts’ weapons are more strict and strict. possibly more, to halt the course of the coronavirus.
Both specialists in infectious diseases and government officials have revealed some measures in the last 24 hours, however, as the Undersecretary of Civil Protection has said many times, these measures are dynamic and can change at any time.
In any case, the measures discussed by infectious disease specialists are as follows:
- Close focus: The committee of experts is discussing the possibility for some time that the shops close from 21:00, so that the citizens stop circulating completely at night
- Prohibition of traffic outside the prefectureAlthough there is much talk about this measure, according to the information, what prevails is to take tougher measures for the areas that are in orange. Therefore, it is not excluded that the regions that did not blush when viewing the above measure apply there as well. Attica is noted to still be at level 3, while Thessaloniki is expected to enter level 4 from time to time.
- Traffic restriction for vulnerable groups: This measure has been heard many times and is still on the list of experts. Therefore, to protect vulnerable groups, especially those over 65, they may be prohibited from moving. However, this measure is considered fundamental and is not one of the first to be considered by the government.
- Mask use nationwide and in stores: We are not done with the mask although its use became universal in the orange and red areas. This is because experts believe that it should be used inside stores and especially in cafe-bars, as it is impossible in restaurants. Other than that, however, wearing a mask can be mandatory across the country.
- Closing in Thessaloniki, Rodopi and Larissa: This measure is almost certain only for Thessaloniki, which is counting down to risk level 4. However, epidemiologically things are going badly for Rodopi and Larissa, who will have to fight to avoid a local lockdown.
- Strengthening telework: Teleworking has always been favored by the government and infectious disease specialists, so it is possible that it will become more applied in the near future.
- Strengthening distance education: At the same time, experts are exploring the possibility of implementing e-learning for students on a larger scale.
Gogo Bell – 2,000 boxes per weekend
The experts’ concerns about the outbreak of cases in recent days in the country were confirmed by the professor of pathology and infectious diseases at the University of Patras, Charalambos Gogos, who did not rule out the possibility of seeing up to 2,000 cases at the end of the Weekend. Gogos, professor of pathology and infectious diseases at the University of Patras, noted that people must be properly informed and follow the measures to keep the situation manageable.
“We expect that the cases will go down, but the dynamics of our growth creates the feeling that we will probably have even more, so we will have to look at the issue more decisively. The professor did not rule out the possibility of seeing up to 2,000 cases per weekend .
Thessaloniki is in “red”
One of the most affected areas is Thessaloniki, where the situation in the city is not good.
Hundreds of cases are putting pressure on the health system, as Thessaloniki is a Covid-19 referral center for northern Greece.
Mr. Gogos stressed that the city will go to the red level of the epidemiological map “because the situation there is difficult.” 
Strengthening distance learning and telework
Regarding the measures that have been taken, the professor stressed that they can be effective if they are implemented to the maximum.
“If the measures are implemented to the maximum and we have great compliance, they are sufficient. The downside is that we can’t have 100% compliance. “
However, the increase in cases may lead to further measures. On the table is the strengthening of distance education and teleworking, while in the areas that are in “red”, it is possible that restaurants close after 9:00 pm.
“You have to reduce the concentration of the people.”
Referring to the situation of the pandemic in Europe, he pointed out that Greece is in a better situation than most European countries, however we should not get to the point of France, with thousands of cases and hundreds of deaths, to take action.
“Now is the time to take more decisive action. Not a general blockade, but a partial one, which will reduce the virus.”
Kikilias: “The superficiality of a few endangers many” – What he said about the new measures
“Campana” for the elderly and those belonging to vulnerable groups in order to protect themselves from the pandemic that is hitting the country was hit by the Minister of Health, Vassilis Kikilias.
Mr. Kikilias affirmed that the majority of citizens have complied with the new measures, however, he pointed out that “the negligence of a few endangers the majority.”
Older people, he added, but also those with underlying diseases should be more careful and protect themselves.
Speaking with ERT about the possibility of announcing new measures, he avoided responding directly.
“Horizontal measures for red zones have already been announced locally. The restrictions are spreading to other areas. I wouldn’t want to rush. Announcements are made when they have to be made ”, he emphasized significantly.
He was optimistic about the vaccines that are in the production stage, and predicted that in the next period we will have positive developments. 
For priests who do not wear a mask
The Health Minister was also asked to comment on images of priests in temples without masks.
“Most citizens abide by the measures.” I do not comment on the part of faith and religion, “he said, adding.
“The rules apply to everyone and there can be no exceptions.”
