One step before the universal coronavirus blockade, that is, the general confinement of our homes, without exceptions and with the suspension of financial, educational and other activities, is Greece.
Escalating cases and deaths, combined with the fact that the NSS, and especially the ICU, is closer to collapse, due to pressure on hospitals, leads the government to even more difficult decisions.
Basically, what prompted government intervention was the thousands of messages in 13033, indicating unnecessary travel. The system no longer supports citizens who go about their lives like nothing. The blockade that is applied from Saturday is not the strong καθώς as it increases traffic on the roads. The only solution they see in the government is to “collect” all those who do not comply, because then they will have the final measures.
And these are none other than the universal prohibition after some time (at 9 pm, for example). No one will be able to go outside unless they have a serious reason. At the same time, the primary school and kindergartens that are now in operation will be closed. It will be the last resort so that the pandemic does not acquire tragic proportions and there are thousands of deaths as in other countries.
Concerns about the course of the disease in our country are very strong, both in the government and in the scientific staff.
This is the reason why the government is already planning new measures, in case what was advanced today does not work. Speaking to MEGA and to the main newsletter with Rania Jima, Stelios Petsas, stressed that if the expected and the new measures do not work, there are two scenarios on the table.
First, we may have a greater restriction on travel and second, a restriction on some activities that are free today, such as schools and some professional activities that operate today, and maybe that will change.
“We want the market to be open in December and Christmas, that’s our main goal,” he said, adding that the Closure could be extended beyond November 30, adding: “No one can rule out an extension in December, but” Yes. we follow the measures, this will not be necessary. “
The confinement is even more difficult
Indicative of the prevailing situation in Greece is that yesterday the government was forced to announce new measures.
The most important thing of all was the curfew from 9:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., from Friday, November 13.
Thus, during this period, citizens can only send 2 travel codes for their departures.
As Mr. Hardals clarified, for the next period, the movement is allowed only for job, Health Y accompanying the pets of each home and within walking distance of the residence, while for the above the use of SMS 13033 is normally valid.
Specifically:
- With the number 1 in 13033: Movement for serious cases of health.
- With number 6 in 13033: Short pet walk, near the house.
- With regard to work, as has been the case to this day, the employer’s transfer certificate is necessary, as the Deputy Minister of Civil Protection clarified again.
The codes for movements from 05:00 to 21:00
For the rest of the hours of the day, that is, from 05:00 to 21:00, the departure from the house is for the following 6 reasons that were valid until today, as well as for work reasons.
The codes are valid as follows:
- The number 1 corresponds to: Go to a pharmacy or see a doctor
- The number 2 corresponds to: Go to a supply of basic products in the store (supermarket, mini market)
- The number 3 corresponds to: Go to the bank to the extent that electronic transactions are not possible
- The number 4 corresponds to: Move to help people in need
- The number 5 corresponds to: Attend a ceremony (for example, funeral, marriage, baptism) under the conditions provided by law or go to divorced parents or those who are in a necessary dimension to ensure communication between parents and children, in accordance with the provisions.
- The number 6 corresponds to: Physical exercise in the open air or movement with a pet, individually or as a couple, observing in the latter case the necessary distance of 1.5 meters.
Clarifications for physical exercise
In addition, during today’s briefing, Mr. Hardalias clarified that during the hours in which physical exercise is allowed, that is, from 05:00 to 21:00, the sending of an SMS to number 6 will be valid.
However, this does not refer to sports / training within sports clubs, but strictly only to individual sports.
This can be done in compositions of up to 3 people and with a strong recommendation, this should preferably be done near the home of the citizens.
It is recalled that according to the information of the last hours, the reason why the government made these decisions is that many messages were observed in 13033 in the afternoon and specifically for physical exercise.
What finally applies to the delivery and takeout function
Particular confusion and discomfort was generated on Wednesday afternoon, after the announcement of new, stricter measures to limit the transmission of the coronavirus.
The Deputy Minister of Civil Protection, Nikos Hardalias, announced the ban on traffic from 9:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. -with few exceptions- as well as additional measures for teleworking and individual exercise.
According to him, the reason for the tightening of the measures is the government’s finding that there are unnecessary movements that facilitate the transmission of the virus.
The curfew at 9:00 p.m. imposed from tomorrow, Friday, will cause a domino of new interventions in the market.
After the announcements of the new measures by the head of Civil Protection, there was confusion regarding the operation of take away and delivery and the information they wanted to “block” as of 20:30.
However, according to Civil Protection sources in in.gr, – which were confirmed a short time later with an official announcement – for the removal, the obvious will apply. That is, citizens will not be able to go out exclusively to buy food after 9:00 p.m. and until 5:00 a.m. in the morning, when the new measures will be applied.
However, if someone goes out at those hours for permissible reasons (health, work, going out with a pet), they can buy food to go.
As for deliveries, home deliveries are expected to remain valid until companies close on schedule.
In fact, on Wednesday night, the General Secretariat for Civil Protection issued an explanatory announcement.
As he characterizes it in a characteristic way: “Regarding the take-out and delivery operation between the hours of 9:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.
We also clarify that the collection in stores in operation (take away) continues after 9:00 p.m. and during all their opening hours, but not as a separate reason for travel, but within the allowed route during these hours ”. .
The background to the decision to ban night traffic
The background that led to the new coronavirus measures reveals MEGA.
Specifically, and according to government circles, everything changed in a few hours. In the morning, data from infectious disease specialists on the difficult situation in Thessaloniki reached Maximou.
However, later in the day everything indicated that the entire country should be closed from 9 to 5 in the morning.
One of the factors that led the prime minister to make this decision was the increase in traffic on the streets of the country’s main cities, despite the blockade, and the “explosion” of travel SMS.
At the same time, a scenario is being considered to prevent morning traffic jams and toughen the transportation process, while on the table is the possibility of employees moving only with ERGANI certificates.
