Greece is at the top of its battle against the coronavirus, with the pandemic sweeping across the country in recent weeks. However, as everything shows, the focus is on northern Greece and specifically Thessaloniki, which is severely affected by the deadly virus.
The huge difference between the northern and southern parts of the country in the spread of the coronavirus is reflected in the current EODY map with the epidemiological burden of all areas since the start of the pandemic last March.
The positive outcome rates, as well as the constant flow of patients to hospitals, are evidence of the situation in the co-capital. In fact, Health Minister Vassilis Kikilias did not hesitate to bring up this issue during the coronavirus briefing, saying that the positivity rate in Thessaloniki is 32%.
This means that more than three in 10 have tested positive for coronavirus. This is a very high percentage, given that it is more than double the country’s positivity rate, which is also high, 14%.
Indicative, however, is the fact that of the 311 admissions of patients with coronavirus that occurred yesterday in all hospitals in the country, 120 took place in hospitals in Thessaloniki. That is, 38% of yesterday’s admissions related to the deadly virus were made in hospitals in the co-capital.
The difference between the north and the south in the cases of Greece is impressive
On the diaspora map that EODY publishes every day, a map shows, as has emerged from the tables presented in the recent “To Vima” period, the unilateral coronavirus burden of almost all the prefectures of northern Greece.
In contrast, the southern part of the country, bordering the Magnesia, Karditsa and Arta prefectures, appears to have extremely fewer cases.
With significant differentiation only in Attica where again, as noted, the number of cases taking into account its population is less than 600 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in recent months, which is behind almost all the prefectures of central Macedonia, Thrace and others. 
The crucial 48 hours for Attica
In any case, Attica is under the microscope of scientists. The course of the cases on Wednesday and Thursday, as well as the resistance of the health system, is expected to judge whether further restrictions will be imposed in Attica, despite the entire country being in a state of lockdown.
According to the information transmitted by MEGA, it is expected that the next 48 hours will be decisive for the decisions that the government will make together with the experts, for greater restrictions.
The launch of the SMS to 13033 will be under the microscope of the experts, and if the messages sent during the morning and noon refer to parents who go to school with their children, or other tasks, the messages after 9:00 p.m. cause great concern. .
Therefore, it is not ruled out, if the experts see that the images continue for the next two days, decide new measures for these hours.
More specifically, if the measures prove not working, it is likely that we will go to… an even stricter lockdown, even with a traffic ban from 9pm onwards, with… few exceptions.
In any case, if cases drop below 1,000 per day, there is a chance that the lockdown will be relaxed.
