The government is on the lips of the Committee on Infectious Diseases, as their suggestion, in the next few hours, for the final touches in the celebration of Christmas will judge how many more areas will have their destination West Attica, which is starting today at 6 in the morning and for a week at total blocking. From Thessaloniki, where he was yesterday to coordinate actions and controls with a view to the holidays, the Deputy Minister of Civil Protection, Nikos Hardals announced the tightening of the current total ban in the municipalities of Aspropyrgos, Elefsina and Mandra-Eidyllia, through a set of new and strict measures.
In particular, it will enter into force:

· intensification of extensive controls compliance with the implementation of the measures and the strengthening of control mechanisms in these areas.
The fact that West Attica was placed in a health protection shell does not reassure scientists, but also the opposite, since the information wants infectious disease specialists to be a few steps away from imposing the same restrictive framework Kozani peripheral unit, due to the high concentration of viral load in the city of Kozani, Ptolemaida and Siatista. Mr. Hardalias did not hide his concern about the area yesterday, explaining that it is based on the fact that “daily admissions to hospitals are increasing.”
The Minister of Civil Protection was also in the area yesterday. Michalis Chrysochoidis, holding meetings with local actors to better coordinate the situation. At the same time, scientists have recorded a high viral load in Drama, while Thessaloniki remains firmly in the crosshairs of experts after the “black November” launch of the number of cases in the city.
In this context, all thoughts of relaxation and festive avoidance of the measures were exorcised yesterday by Mr. Hardalias, dispelling any New Years Eve wishes from the old ones.. “It’s not the moment, it’s not even a new year’s eve. There are no problems with removing the lock. We continue with very strict measures, movements will be scanned, especially after 10 pm and I ask everyone patiently, with perseverance, to remain faithful to the implementation of all these measures and to be doubly careful ”. The Undersecretary highlighted yesterday in this regard, warning that “Very easily, if we don’t pay attention at Christmas, we will go back to the same situations we faced just 24 hours ago.” In fact, as of Monday, all epidemiological data will be provided to the mayors of the prefecture, at the request of the mayor of Thessaloniki, Constantino Zervasto prevent situations.
Diametrically opposed to any repetition of the traditional New Years Eve, but partly at the limit of 9 people at the table, most scientists show up, obviously concerned about the epidemiological footprint of this year’s festivities. “We must not leave our houses at Christmas. We cannot talk about New Years Eve when we have 3,000 in 40 days”, Achilleas Gravanis, professor of pharmacology at the University of Crete clarified, adding that “if we do not pay attention to the holidays we will pay with these numbers ”.
Speaking yesterday on the topic 104.6 the professor of microbiology, Alkiviadis Vatopoulos suggested in the “red” areas that measures be taken, such as Easter 2020, without travel and guests outside the family, making it clear that The measure for the presence of 9 people will also be reviewed on festive tables. “Let’s go 9 people, but let’s be the same” stood out for its part in number 104.6 and the Gaga mine, pulmonologist – director of the VII Pulmonary Clinic of the Sotiria Hospital, noting that “It is very important to spend the holidays with less of our people, and yet not different.”
The only encouraging thing for experts before the time change seems to be the start of vaccination throughout Europe, following the announcement by the President of the Commission, Ursula von der Leyen On twitter. “Vaccinations throughout the EU will begin on December 27, 28 and 29” He said on social networks, intensifying with his placement the degree of preparation in all European capitals.
