The director of the ICU of the Papanikolaou Hospital, Nikolaos Kapravelos, described the situation in Thessaloniki in darker colors and asked that the blockade not be lifted.

“Let’s not open, especially without restrictive measures,” he suggested, speaking to SKAI TV. As he said, the situation in Thessaloniki is “tragic”, as there are no other beds in the intensive care unit. “We are living a tragic situation. We do not have intensive care beds.” We have built another space, at the cost of other specialties, to face this wave, which escaped us, “he said characteristically.

He estimated that the second wave that started in October will end in March. “We must not open up. The dispersion is now at our next door. He who opens, if he opens, must know that he opens at the risk of his life.

“At the moment, there should be no talk of opening. You will never know about the opening from me and the martyr Thessaloniki. We will tell him about restrictive measures,” stressed the UCI Director of Papanikolaou.

Mr. Kapravelos characteristically commented: “We put pressure on her. If no action is taken, it will be a national tragedy,” while highlighting the tragic record of Thessaloniki, which November 25 registered the highest number of deaths per million inhabitants in Europe, as he characteristically said.

“If we open without measures, the third wave will be terrible. The virus is terribly contagious. The vaccine is the hope of society. “
