The scenario of absolutely harsh confinement and Christmas is on the table, in areas of the country where the coronavirus continues to rise.
The government may announce a tightening of the measures even today or tomorrow, with Western Attica, Kozani and Thessaloniki as the main areas of concern. It should be noted that yesterday the Minister of Civil Protection Michalis Chrysochoidis visited Western Attica and will be in Kozani today, while the Deputy Minister of Civil Protection Nikos Hardalias will go to Thessaloniki.
An increase in cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the last seven days is also observed in the prefectures of Kilkis, Xanthi, Pieria, Drama, Rodopi, Grevena, Pella and Larissa.
The relevant decisions were anticipated yesterday by the Health Minister Vassilis Kikilias, but also by the government representative Stelios Petsas, who stated that “if necessary, we will take tougher measures. We have to take advantage of the deadline until January 7 ”, while inviting everyone to spend Christmas with their family or at most with one more family.
But especially for areas with an epidemiological burden, it is considered to prohibit movement in houses on Christmas and New Year’s Eve and not to allow the reunion of up to nine people from two families, but to recommend that each family celebrate at home without contact with relatives. To achieve this objective, it is considered to limit the justified movements and not allow the movement from house to house with the code 6 for the days 24, 25, 31 December and 1 January. The possibility to click on the “red” areas is also open, as queues were observed in Thessaloniki, for example.
However, the reactions were provoked by the statements of the Minister of Citizen Protection Michalis Chrysochoidis at a meeting in the Elefsina Subregion, with the participation of the Secretary General of Civil Protection Vassilis Papageorgiou, representatives of the Region, mayors of West Attica and other countries . “No one’s head.” Otherwise, areas will be sealed off, even house to house, “threatened Mr. Chrysochoidis.
It should be noted that in the West Attica municipalities with the highest epidemiological burden, such as Aspropyrgos, Elefsina and Mandra, there are many industries and crafts and local actors are calling for massive rapid tests in the workplace, which in this closure have remained open. It is estimated that 30,000 workers are transferred daily to the industrial zone.
Also worrying is the fact that especially the areas of northern Greece that have many cases and deaths, are also areas where metropolitans preach against the observance of sanitary measures in churches. The government, however, declares that it has confidence in the … responsible attitude of the Church and is currently insisting on the decision to relax the measures during the festive period.
