“Until January 15, we will be on high alert,” said EKPA Infection Pathological Physiology Professor Nikos Sypsas, noting that there is fear of the spread of the coronavirus during the holidays.
“Ten days after the New Year we will have a much better picture of what is happening in Greece and especially what is happening in Attica. There are dangerous outbreaks in Attica and a great concern … “Unfortunately, epidemiological data are changing rapidly and epidemic outbreaks occur in a week, they do not warn us,” Sypsas stressed Sunday.
The professor explained that epidemic outbreaks occur 2 weeks after dispersal, so until January 15 we will be in maximum alarm, especially in Attica.
“So we are afraid in the coming days of what we will see in mid-January, if indeed there has been a great dispersion there is a risk of an epidemic outbreak and the big question is how we will deal with it,” he added.
Regarding vaccination in Greece, the professor stressed that “the supply of vaccines is not a fact”However, he emphasized that “Europe has delayed supplies because follow the correct procedures “.
However, as the pandemic said, it will not end in the next few days, “we will wear masks until we build the wall of immunity in 70% of the population, even if we are vaccinated and then we will use masks, it depends on the assistance of the people and the supply of vaccines, it is not a fact either “.
The goal, he said, is to build a wall within a year, at least in fall or winter.
“We are in the last 30 meters of the most difficult pandemic. “January and February will be very difficult months, it will be the deep darkness before the light,” he warned. “We have traveled 70 meters, but the remaining 30 are the most painful, we are in the middle of the second half but the rival is so superior that may overwhelm us in the next period of the game ” he pointed.
“We know the enormous costs to the economy and mental health, but we have to choose economy or health, fewer deaths. “If we choose that we are not interested in the deaths, we can open up now but we choose to protect our fellow men,” he emphasized. “We will choose health or we will choose the economy. The measures create an embankment, and it is a precautionary measure, just in my opinion, this decision had to be made,” he commented on the new closure.
“Open schools”
Our suggestion for schools will be based on the latest epidemiological data, the minister has already presented us with a very good plan of how to open schools safely, and it makes it easier for us to close other activities, because opening schools is a priority. But we have a relatively slow de-escalation, at least we will discuss the opening “Elementary schools that are lower risk,” said the teacher.
He clarified that “we do not want to suggest the opening of schools and say that after a week we close them again, this is the worst possible scenario that we want schools to open safely and continuously.”
