“Perhaps it should be cause for concern that European countries such as Spain, France, Great Britain and Italy have significantly reduced their cases – something that is gradually happening in recent days also in Greece – without applying a emergency shutdown as our country did. Other parameters may need to be explored … “
This comment from the Professor of Hygiene and Epidemiology at the University of Athens, Mr. Gika Majorkini a “To Vima”, which is said to be adopted by other scientists in Greece and abroad, creates new data on the dissemination of coronavirus in our country and how to reduce the disease.
Noting that measures such as restricting travel to work, indoor restaurants and other stores are particularly effective.
In our country now in the last week (November 20-27) there has been a reduction of cases by 25% compared to the previous seven days in a downward trend that is expected to continue.
Case Reduction Without Overall Block: What the Data Shows
However, the relevant graphs presented by tovima.gr show exactly the same trend or even a much larger contraction of the number of new players in France, Spain, M. Great Britain and Italy, however, they showed the peak of the number of cases relatively before.
It is characteristic that the France which had reached 88,790 new players on November 8, now has around 13,500 new players in a significant reduction. Restrictive measures similar to those in our country were applied in the country, but the schools remained open – unlike in our country – without this aggravating effect.
In Spain on October 27 there were 22,594 cases and on November 26 they only reached 7,791. This country, avoiding generalized confinement, applies what is known as the “Madrid model”. Follow the policy of applying local restrictions, which differ even for different parts or neighborhoods of the city.
There was a significant reduction in cases in Britain where again there were several restrictive measures similar to those in our country that were announced on October 30, but schools, universities and colleges and kindergartens, as well as outdoor playgrounds remained open, while construction works are allowed , as well as operation of farms, courts and parliament.
In Italy the country was divided into three zones based on the dispersion of cases. The total quarantine was imposed only in Calabria, Lombardy, Piedmont with the capital Turin and the northwestern region of Valle d’Aosta. The “yellow zone” includes the regions of Rome and Naples and the central region of Abruzzo, Tuscany and Sardinia. The shopping centers in this area are only closed on weekends, while the cafes and restaurants accept customers until six in the afternoon and close on Sundays where they can make home deliveries without restrictions. Apulia and Sicily belong to the “orange region”. In relation to the above measures, entry and exit from other regions is also prohibited. Furthermore, citizens cannot move from one municipality to another, except in cases of emergency.
