Microbiology professor Alkiviadis Vatopoulos spoke about the evolution of the pandemic in Greece, noting that the real cases are “double or triple.”

“The virus is still present throughout Greece and is essentially a source of fire.” If the blockade is loosened, any such outbreak could cause a fire, “he said.

When asked to remove the lockdown, he said: “We will see how we do this week as we go from about 3,000 cases to 1,500. If the decline continues, he said that maybe eventually we can get a feel for how we are doing at Christmas. A number of cases of three digits around 200,300, 400 will be enough to eliminate the measures ”.

Regarding the opening of the restaurant, Mr. Vatopoulos told Mega that “the objective is to open the economy and not have to close it again” and for this “the cases should be few” and “finally the behavior of all has been adjusted” . in the new way of wearing a mask and keeping your distance. ”

However, he noted that the escalation of cases is not done “as fast as we would like.”

“We started in August to have cases across Greece very different from those in March,” he said, adding that the epidemic was most intense in northern Greece. There was also the transfer from the northern borders of the world, everything is under study. Studies are underway on what went wrong. I think it’s all their fault. “The many cases and as in many smaller cities the measures were not observed as they should,” he said.

Mr. Vatopoulos also explained that some numbers have come out of the tickets. “From EODY it says that 25 to 30% of the cases are asymptomatic. Real patients can be more. “I would say double or triple insurance,” he characteristically noted.
