According to the estimates of the team of professors of the Department of Chemical Engineering of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Demosthenes Sarigiannis One out of every four new cases that will be registered on the last day of 2020 in our country will be located in Thessaloniki, the 200 cases out of a total of 700 – 800 that day. Which means that for Thessaloniki to return to a relatively satisfactory and manageable health situation, we have plenty of time ahead of us.

  • In Athena On December 14, 220 cases will be registered, on the 21st of the month 190 and on the 31st approximately 200. As Mr Sarigiannis points out, at the end of the week the data for Athens may differ, since from the last two days there is a slowdown in the reduction of the number of cases, which means that something special has happened after 17 November, if and in the following days there is a significant increase in travel restrictions.
  • In Thessaloniki On December 14 the cases will be 300, a week later they will drop to 250 and at the end of the month to 190.

The AUTh professor himself wonders, however, what is the most appropriate land use planning for greater and faster effectiveness of vaccines, so that herd immunity reaches the country more quickly. According to Sarigiannis, his team is already studying the differences that could exist between the obvious choice of the horizontal geographic distribution of vaccines based on the population of each region and a more specific approach, depending on the epidemiological burden. The results of this study will be completed and communicated to the government in the coming days.

Since last spring the interdisciplinary team of Professor Demosthenes Sarigiannis, in the Department of Chemical Engineering of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, has created in collaboration with the Italian universities of Pavia and Pisa a series of algorithms, combined with dynamic models of population behavior, coronary spread and coronation. risk to health. These data give predictions of what will happen a few weeks or a month or two later, which in the seven months that have passed have been almost completely confirmed.
