In a new reality, the areas of greatest risk will “dawn” next Tuesday, for which new measures have been announced.
The new measures were announced by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, in a speech that addressed the issue of the coronavirus outbreak, as well as the great earthquake that struck Samos and the Turkish coast.
Mr. Mitsotakis announced that restaurants, bars, cafes, theaters, cinemas and gyms in Attica and Northern Greece will be closed from Tuesday. The new measures will go into effect Tuesday morning and will run for one month and include, among other things, the closure of the restaurant in Attica, as well as all “orange” areas, which are now considered a “zone. Increased risk “. .
Why close restaurants, shows and gyms
In recent weeks, the government has announced a series of measures, such as the mandatory use of masks in all areas, in areas where there is an “explosion” of cases. Even heavier, for the same areas, was the curfew that came into effect on October 24.
However, even during this period, the bars violated informal parties or scores of hours. Typical is the case of the entertainment center where he continued “whining” after the fine imposed.
At the same time, despite the measures in force, coronavirus cases continued to multiply rapidly. The highlight, however, was yesterday’s record – a record 1,690 cases.
Asked about the measures that can be taken, the teacher Alkiviadis Vatopoulos He argued that if the epidemic “breaks out, then it can escalate to a staggering number of cases.” He then emphasized that the central idea is to interrupt the chain of transmission and you don’t see alternatives to how you can do this. He stressed that the main source of transmission of the virus is where everyone has the opportunity to come into contact with droplets emitted by another person, where, that is, there is congestion and especially where a mask is not used. It is logical, he argued, to stop unnecessary meetings, as in entertainment.
It is recalled that how the coronavirus is transmitted indoors was presented with impressive -and at the same time terrifying- graphics by the Spanish El País.
Why the companies were excluded from the suspension
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis explained in his speech that “the new measures focus on the two outbreaks that have been found to favor the transmission of the virus: funny Y motility the citizens. Maintaining its operation throughout the territory industry, του Retail and of schools. And services like Hotels Y Barber Shop. “Because the data there shows that the problem is being controlled,” Mitsotakis said.
