Today’s new data in click away retail for the Christmas period, the coronavirus season.

The suspension of the retail operation is maintained for the holiday period, except for the receipt of the merchandise only by click outside of today, Sunday until Thursday, January 7, due to the courier overload. In other words, the retail sale will be allowed through a pre-purchase and receiving process from outside the store. The order will be made through e-shop or by phone and payment will be made electronically or via POS, outside the store. The order will be received by a person at a specified time and with an electronic receipt.

Infectious disease professor Nikos Sypsas sounded the alarm bell for the spread of the coronavirus on New Years Eve small and large at Christmas and New Years, speaking to SKAI’s main newsletter. “Any family reunion can lead to dispersal. I am not saying that because it is bad but because we see it.” The data tells us one thing: family dispersal, “he said, adding that data from epidemiologists clearly showed that the virus is had spread to homes.

Answering the question of whether there should be up to nine people or two families at the festive table, he reiterated that in each family there may be an infected but asymptomatic person. He added that no family should be considered safe and warned that a festive table could end with sick or even intubated guests at the hospital.

Regarding the start of the click away in retail, the professor stressed that each opening, even a small one, entails an increase in the spread of the virus that will be seen in 15 days.

If the click away does not work and we have overcrowding, then we will not only have an increase, but an epidemic explosion, emphasized Mr. Sypsas, adding that this is the reason that led the Minister of Public Works to say that if we see images of Harrods, then the click will be removed.

If on the contrary the click away works, it is the least we can do to have some kind of market at Christmas, added the professor.

What will happen to the schools

Mr. Sypsas explained that one of the reasons the market did not open now was to allow schools to safely open in January and “we’ll see if we can do it.” The objective is to open primary schools in a first phase and if all goes well, the other levels will work with physical presence.

Difficult January: how the cold affects the Rt index

The professor stressed that according to forecasts, the number of intubated in our country will drop to 200, which is a safe number, around January 15 and not before. January, he stressed, will be a difficult period (then the vaccination against the coronavirus will begin), and we must be prepared for that, since the health system is already at its limits. The map is crimson in terms of ICU bed availability, he noted and wished we didn’t see difficult situations. Given the drop in temperature, he pointed out that each degree that falls affects between 4% and 5% the so-called Rt index.
