We had a shocking negative history of deaths on Saturday in the country, the first day of its implementation emergency shutdown as victims who got sick with coronavirus have arrived 3. 4.
At the same time, the cases have arrived 2,556, while the number of intubated in the ICU amounts to 207.
In terms of geographic distribution, it was observed little drop in Thessaloniki (560)Y upload in Attica (637) but also Drama (151).
The next days will be critical by the image that will be formed with the spread of the virus when the whole country is blocked.
However, in the capital the citizens seem discipline with measures since the streets are empty and few people are out.
One exception was on Saturday morning, when people visited hair and beauty salons, which will be open until Sunday.
Linu: The blocking is not enough, the outburst is exponential
At the same time, the professor of epidemiology Athena linou spoke on Saturday night about whether the three weeks that the confinement will last are various, to actively fight the virus, or if necessary to expand measures.
Speaking at the Open, Ms. Linou was clear. “The blockade is not enough to stop the exponential burst,” he said.
He also stressed that in addition to the confinement, everything must be observed other measures, pointing out its criticality doing many tests.
“We are in an aggressive increase in cases, that is, every 5-10 days the cases double. The dangerous thing is that we have too many cases that are aggressively increasing. I cannot speak of the number and how much the real ones are multiplied by the confirmed cases. The existing studies range from 6 to 26 but their average multiplication is from 10 to 11. It will not only depend on the confinement but also on the other measures. “We have to comply with them and do multiple tests,” he said characteristically.
The Christmas “bet”
At the same time, the experts call for faithful compliance with the measurements and the proper use of the mask. (the nose on the inside, as microbiology professor Alkiviadis Vatopoulos characteristically said), the great “bet»It is now to mitigate the spread of the pandemic and return to an apparent regularity the Christmas.
The characteristic was, after all, the Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on the matter, during the meeting of the Executive Secretariat of Nueva Democracia held by teleconference.
At this time, the practical expression of solidarity with our fellow citizens, requires us with free will to restrict our freedom and especially the freedom of movement in order to support the common struggle that we all give.
That is why I believe that both values do not conflict, because we freely choose as conscious citizens to do the right thing at this juncture, which is nothing more than listening to the advice of experts and accepting the need to temporarily limit ourselves to be able to contain this second wave of the pandemic and to be able to gradually return to our normal rhythms, to save December financially, to make a Christmas that will definitely be different from the ones we are used to, but not a Christmas that will be imposed by very strict rules. “
However, the vice president of EODY George Panagiotopoulos did not rule out during his interview with OPEN the possibility of spending Christmas in quarantine.
“This will depend on the evolution of epidemiological indicators in 3-4 weeks.” They will show us how we will proceed, “he said, adding that if the measures are met, they will bear fruit.
Mr. Panagiotopoulos revealed, in fact, that in the last 24 hours there were 295 hospital admissions.
