The president of the Panhellenic Medical Association, Athanasios Exadaktylos, appealed to doctors in Thessaloniki to help their colleagues in hospitals.
He also said in an interview with SKAI on Wednesday night that “we are not far from the images we saw in Italian hospitals during the first wave of the pandemic and we are close to helping people in public places.”
“The situation is critical. I appeal to my fellow citizens in Thessaloniki not to move unless absolutely necessary. Do not leave your home unless there is a very serious reason. I also appeal to my fellow doctors who can help, so that they come to Thessaloniki, because there is a need for doctors in our hospitals. “The people on the front line are exhausted and we must all help them,” Exadaktylos said.
“We are looking for doctors from anywhere in Greece. Doctors from Thessaloniki respond adequately and consistently, but we don’t know where we will end up.” We are not far from the images we saw in hospitals in Italy in the first wave of the pandemic, “he said .
The president of the Panhellenic Medical Association pointed out that in pandemic cases, the second waves are stronger and more deadly than the first, and emphasized that “any massive event in Thessaloniki will constitute a crime against health.
Regarding the course of the coronavirus in Thessaloniki, he said that although there is a slight decrease in the rate of transmission speed, but no stabilization and slowdown. “32% of the tests are positive, but even if 60,000 are sick, according to the estimates of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, it will take time to see a decrease. In addition, there is more mobility than the previous blockade,” he concluded.
