Papaevangelou: 8 minutes indoors is enough for the virus to spread
At the set press conference, Professor Vana Papaevangelou said:
“We have an obvious decrease in imports and we may see a stabilization in the intubated.
We also have vaccination, which is expected to begin in our country in early January.
For vulnerable groups and vaccine safety. We are especially interested in older people. They are more seriously ill. Pfizer generates thousands of volunteers. Almost half were over 55 and up to 80.
Half had at least one underlying disease. The efficacy of the vaccine was 95%. Much more than the 50-60% expectation. It was also equally effective at all ages.
The most common side effect was pain at the vaccination site. We also had fatigue, headaches, and in some cases a slight fever.
Pregnant women were not vaccinated in the clinical trial. However, it happens that some women are pregnant and do not know it. They were vaccinated and their pregnancy continues normally. In the future we will also vaccinate children.
Vaccination will be optional, but I will urge everyone to do so.
I would like to remind everyone that in the hope of the vaccine, it will allow us during 2021, to return to a satisfactory normality.
Our homes, the closed spaces, are important dispersal factors. One player can keep all of them. If in an apartment of 120 square meters and 20 people gather, even wearing a mask, it can be dispersed. If you don’t wear a mask, it only takes 8 minutes to disperse.
If we keep our distance and follow the measures, we can achieve a lot. It is a big difference. Think of protective measures as a shield from each other.
In the use of the mask, in the distances, in the hygiene of the hands, to add the avoidance of coloring. To achieve our goals. In order not to lose what we have achieved ”.
Responding to a relevant question about schools, he said that “our goal is to open schools after January 7. There is no plan for different regional units.”
On the groups that will be excluded from vaccination, he said: “Pregnant women and children under 16 have not been studied. Furthermore, in this first phase, those who have become ill will not be vaccinated ”.
Majorkinis: Johnson & Johnson vaccine expected by end of January
The case rate increased last week, surpassing 700,000 for the first time in a day.
In Europe it has shown a slight decrease. But in France, the epidemic has been stable since October. In Germany, there has been an increase in deaths. So Germany tightened the blockade until January 10. In Italy, the epidemic remains at 15-20,000 diagnoses, with around 700 deaths per day.
In Greece, the reduction in active cases continued. Pressure points in the NSS show a slight decrease. but they have not alleviated the situation, which remains extremely critical.
Thessaloniki presented 100 fewer diagnoses compared to the previous weekend. The situation in northern Greece remains more tense
Johnson and Johnson hope to say goodbye in late January. This vaccine can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.
It would be better not to go to a meeting. If we go, let’s wear masks and have distances.
If we succeed and maintain the measures, we will have achieved a lot.
