Closure: Decisions to lift the closure and a plan to open economic and social activities will be made within the week. The decisive factor for government decisions will be the epidemiological data for the next few days.
In the morning, the ordinary meeting on coronavirus will take place in the Palace of the Maxims under the command of the Prime Minister, in which The results of the implementation of the blockade at the national level will be evaluated. and the experts will consider Kyriakos Mitsotakis for his suggestions on timing and release from quarantine.
Government sources indicate that at the end of the week they will be “blocked” relevant decisions and there will be official announcements.
According to the same circles, the lifting of restrictions will likely take place in three phases:
the first concerns the reopening of schools. As the Minister of Education said, Niki Kerameos The objective and the priority is to open schools and there is the possibility of opening primary schools first and then Gyms and Lyceums “, noting, however, that the timing of the reopening of schools is up to infectious disease specialists.
Then they will open the stores, with the Minister of Development and Investments, Adonis Georgiadis affirm that the government’s objective is a controlled opening of the economy, clarifying that this will be done when the experts allow it based on the existing epidemiological picture.
“In the ministry we have created scenarios for each development of the virus and we are waiting for the infectious diseases committee to give us the signal of the beginning. We are not going to start the economy if the doctors do not tell us,” stressed Adonis Georgiadis and added that the start will be from retail.
At the same time, he left open the possibility opening certain sectors of the economy first, such as seasonal items and toy stores, which, he said, have been particularly affected.
Based on plans so far the last to open, just before Christmas, will be the restaurant with strict restrictions. They will only be allowed sitting down and industry companies will close at a specific time, that’s for sure it won’t be after 11 pm. As government spokesman Stelios Petsas has said, bars and discos will not open, as a lot of collusion is created and customers sit down.
In terms in the transition from law to law during the festive period, the scenery has yet to be cleared, although the current epidemiological picture reinforces the scenario not being able to go to the towns and the main winter destinations, as this will almost certainly trigger the cases when hikers return to urban centers, spawning outbreaks across the country.
And the question that arises is when the process of lifting the restrictions will begin. As the Maximos Palace has pointed out, everything will depend on the course of the pandemic in the coming days. According to the information, if there are no surprises or unpleasant disorders, The phase-out process will begin on December 7. The government and experts hope that when the case curve will “flatten out”, which will result in a reduction of stress in the health system.
However, yesterday’s data for intubated reaching 540 intensifies concerns about the resilience of the National Health System. At the same time, those who claim that the
case reduction it does not automatically mean a reduction in the number of people admitted to the ICU or in need of hospitalization, nor in the number of deaths.
For Thessaloniki and Northern Greece or other overloaded areas, Like Larissa, there is a possibility that the lifting of confinement restrictions will be extended and activities will not open together with the rest of Greece.
The only thing I am sure of is that the final decisions are in the hands of the prime minister., who is informed daily about the evolution of the pandemic.
but nevertheless Kyriakos Mitsotakis has sent a clear message that the blockade will not be lifted unless the number of cases is significantly reduced and that this Christmas will be different.
