The “tombstone” on the stage for a three-week lockdown is being slowly laid by scientists, who, contrary to the prime minister’s morning announcements, are reluctant to set a timetable for a return to normalcy.
However, the first of the scientists mentioned in the schedule was the president of EINAP, Matina Pagoni. Specifically, Ms. Pagoni clarified that if we strictly adhere to the lockdown measures to stop the pandemic, we will begin to see results after 20 days. But in no case will we have “cleaned” it.

“If we all implement the measures, then things will go very well and after 20 days a reduction in cases will begin,” he emphasized, expressing the conviction that everything will be properly implemented and the new restrictions will not be extended.
As he mentioned, speaking in the Open Bulletin: “Times for hospital doctors are difficult and they need a lot of calm, calm and not panic. This is how we have learned to deal with these moments. We believe that the closure on Saturday morning will be better so as not to put more pressure on the Health System. If there was more pressure, we couldn’t cope. The truth is that there has been an increase in cases and intubations in recent days. Tonight there are 187 intubated and we had 29 deaths. These are tragic numbers for Greece. We have not experienced them again, but we will face them ”.
When will they suggest lifting
For their part, the scientists, referring to what will lead them to propose to the government to lift the blockade, are mainly positioned on the pressure that the NSS will receive.
Specifically, according to what the professor of Pneumology – Intensive Care at the University of Athens and member of the committee, Anastasia Kotanidou said, the end of the confinement will be proposed in case they see a decrease in the number of hospital admissions which reduces automatically admissions to previous ICUs. by 50% within these 3 weeks and cases drop below 1000.
At the same time, he pointed out that now with the confinement his hope is that they will prevent the spread of the virus and pressure on hospitals. “We hope that now with the strictest measures that will be implemented from Saturday, we will all comply and we will sit in our homes for a while without having secret parties, with masks everywhere and in 1 week we will be able to see a significant improvement in the situation” , said. .
He noted that the first thing they want to see from this blockade is the reduction in hospital admissions. In addition, he explained that what made everyone on the committee suggest a lockdown was the huge increase in patients in hospitals “that is, hospital admissions suddenly increased too much.”
Finally, referring to the issue of the duration of the confinement, the associate professor of epidemiology and member of the committee for the coronavirus, Dimitris Paraskevi, told MEGA that this will depend on how much we want to drop the epidemiological burden on the community.
“But the objective is not to eliminate the virus in the community, but to reduce the spread and pressure on the health system,” he clarified.
