The observance of the measures, announced on Saturday by the Prime Minister, will determine either their extension and escalation, or their de-escalation, stressed SKAI, professor and member of the Charalambos Gogos Infectious Diseases Committee. Genetics Professor Manolis Dermitzakis expressed the hope that the partial blockage will last longer at our station.
Charalambos Gogos: Things are going badly in Thessaloniki
“The reproduction of a virus is such that in 15 days to 1 month we can exclude its further development; if we implement the measures we will see the results. In 15 days to 1 month we will see if the measures are effective, if we are not here to expand them, climb or de-climb them, ”said Charalambos Gogos.
“Things are going badly in Thessaloniki, things are problematic in Athens.” Both the State and health workers must protect the health system, increase ICU beds for COVID, something that has begun, “said the professor.
Mr. Gogos clarified that it is possible that we will see an increase in cases in the coming days, since these were noticed with the previous measures in force.
“Unfortunately at the moment there is a big wave, we are in the most difficult phase of the global pandemic, maybe Greece is in a better position than the European average with ten times the number of victims and cases of the main European countries, and so on. “We can see what can happen and here we have the opportunity to see and prevent,” he stressed.
We are looking forward to the vaccine, explained Charalambos Gogos, that is our final goal, we are trying to maintain a situation at a level without major effects of the pandemic to arrive at the beginning of the year in vaccination, so I hope, first of all health, to begin . we are vaccinated and until April – May to be able to vaccinate large population. “And he continued:
“Until then, we need to take rapid diagnostic measures, a lot of tests, preventive measures, like the ones we have taken now, which are very strict, and we hope they work to reduce the spread in the community, especially in urban areas.
Manolis Dermitzakis: We had to take the measurements 1 month ago
For his part, Manolis Dermitzakis pointed out that “we don’t have time, I hope the confinement lasts longer.”
He explained that in our country we take three packages of measures. “The previous ones were very light, they left no trace, we still see the result of the first package. The previous ones were a little heavier, they will leave their mark, and we have the new ones, with horizontal characteristics, which we will see in 2-3 weeks ”, he commented.
The professor estimated that the number of cases could reach 3,000 or more, but added that this is a normal course.
“If we had taken these measures (on Saturday) a month earlier, we would have been in a much better situation,” he said. “However, we have a good package of measures,” he added.
