First, because the number of cases has stabilized at around 300 per day. A particularly high number, compared to the 50 daily cases that led to a lockdown in the spring, but stable, with the result that the government hopes the NSS can handle the pressure.
Secondly, because a difficult winter is coming and the blocking weapon may be needed later.
Y in third place, due to the financial consequences of a new horizontal blockade, albeit local in Attica. The Prime Minister in his message did not hide that the spring quarantine had tragic effects on the economy, although of course it was tremendously effective in the first phase of the quarantine.

But with a consistent application of what already applies. And with targeted interventions when and as necessary, in areas with a high epidemiological burden, such as Attica today ”.
