Alkiviadis Vatopoulos mentioned in the “Society Hour MEGA” program how worrying is the increase in coronavirus cases yesterday.

In particular, as the professor of Microbiology at the Faculty of Public Administration at the University of West Attica said, it is expected that the course of cases will not be fluid and day by day there will be ups and downs and therefore “in epidemiology we look at the average seven-day mobile ”.

In general, there is a decrease, Mr. Vatopoulos pointed out, adding, however, that this decrease in his valuation is not enough, in the sense that the cases that still exist are many. “Whether it’s 1,500 or 2,000, there are many cases,” he said.

Giving an explanation of why the cases are not decreasing, he said that “my feeling is that we started from the top”, explaining that after the summer there were many cases throughout Greece, so “the base from which the second wave started was very high”. For this reason “there is resistance to the numbers of cases falling rapidly.”

Regarding the measures and quarantine, he pointed out that we will have to see how things develop in the next two or three days and at the end of the week some decisions will have to be made in this regard. “Things are pretty tough to get a free Christmas,” he said.

He highlighted the importance of complying with existing measures, which must be strictly applied.

As for the vaccine, he noted that its approval “is substantial and not formal.” Relevant global organizations analyze the data in depth and perform substantive checks for approval. Therefore, “once approved, this means that the vaccine is safe.”

He said the vaccine will be in two doses, although it is not yet clear whether repeat doses will be needed.

Along with prevention and vaccination, it is important to have effective drugs, he commented on research in the field of medicine.
