The question remains what will happen to the large shopping centers. The initial thought was not to open at all. However, there is controversy that in this case, the crowd will increase in the small ones (AP Photo / Yorgos Karahalis).
The equation for very strong solvers evolves how they will open, if open, the remaining activities for which the lock has not been extended until January 7.
In other words, this is the way the government will choose to reactivate sectors of economic and social life, such as retail, hairdressing, but also the functions of the churches.
Churches
When it comes to churches, there is a great discussion about whether and how they should open their doors to the faithful. Yesterday, the government spokesman said something that many consider reasonable: “You cannot open retail and you cannot close churches. These are the things that will be discussed in the next 2-3 days to be able to make decisions ”.
But there is also the serious contradiction. Several members of the committee of infectious disease specialists believe that the opening of churches, due to the large average age of those who will mainly visit them, may create new great dangers.
The possibilities at the current stage, however, are two: either not open at all -this will happen if the trade does not open either- or open for some specific days, possibly on Christmas Eve and of course under strict measures, as happened last month of May: that is, mandatory use of a mask and a ratio of one person for every 10 square meters.
Final announcements will be made in the next few days, as discussed during yesterday’s telephone conversation between the Prime Minister, Mr. Mitsotakis, and Archbishop Ieronymos.
Retail
The other big equation is known as a retailer. The plate is currently leaning towards a sensible opening, but today and tomorrow are crucial. If the cases and intubations don’t drop, then everything is open, even if the script doesn’t open anything.
So, in the positive scenario, we will see some opening next Monday, perhaps with a greater tightening of the rules of proportion of people per square meter. The key question is what will happen to the great commercials. The initial thought was not to open at all. However, there is a reasonable objection that in this case the overcrowding will increase to small. In any case, decisions will be made on Thursday based on data from the previous two days.
With intensity and on the side of the experts, who by nature have a harder line, the issue that “K” has been the first to raise for the opening of the country’s prefectures based on the epidemiological burden has come to light.
Although in the previous days this thought was lower in the hierarchy, in the last days it is considered more seriously. In this case, the areas that will divide the country will not be the same as we know so far.
Schools
It is interesting, however, why the schools, which have shown to have a small epidemiological burden, were chosen to open on January 7, while in the first closure they were the first to open.
The answer is twofold: first, because the opening of schools must be at the national level for reasons of equality and second, because the time they would open before Christmas was only one week and it was considered a free gift to have even this low risk for so few . days. For the rest, in the general equation it seems that the only safe thing is the opening of hairdressers.
Announcements with final decisions will be made on Thursday or Saturday. Friday does not have many possibilities since, due to the Summit and the beginning of the budget debate, it is considered a day with a very heavy government program.
