Attica in the “eye” of the pandemic – What Hardals said about a possible generalized closure



[ad_1]

Recently, more than 200 new daily cases have been registered in our country, which raises concern for experts.

Characteristic is what Gikas Majorkinis said in the information on the evolution of the coronavirus when he stressed that “the epidemic curve remains above two hundred cases a day with slight upward trends. Since the incubation period of 6-14 days in this period mainly cases related to the period immediately after the “window” of August 15 are recorded. Likewise, the number of intubators seems to follow a slight upward trend, exceeding 30 since the beginning of the week. The new diagnoses are younger than we expect based on the age distribution in Greece. Now it is clear that the epidemic has a prolonged circulation and has spread in the age group of 20 to 30 years.

Is there a case of a new blockage?

For the possibility of the young emergency shutdown spoke during Friday’s briefing on coronavirus the Undersecretary of Defense, Nikos Hardals who responded to a question about whether there is a limit to the number of daily cases that can signal an alarm.

“There are tools and means depending on the scenarios to stop the spread of the virus,” said Hardalias, saying that “we are far from any lockdown scenario at the moment. It is not a matter of number of cases. There are more complex situations.” we analyze cases that are not in a cluster, there are a series of criteria “.

“It just came to our attention then. When we go and analyze cases that are not in a cluster, we start and measure a series of criteria. The degree of follow-up of close contacts. We will behave differently in ten cases that have two or three contacts, we will behave differently when we have ten cases again, but on average each of them has 11 contacts, so we are talking about 110 people in the community. We will behave differently if these cases have remained in your area or if we have observed movements in other areas, ”said Mr. Hardalias.

“When we notice that there are movements in other areas, we now enter the process to verify if the virus is transmitted from municipality to municipality, from Region to Region. So far the measures are aimed. There is a technical meeting three times a day for the course of the “cycles” where the cases are located. To enter into the logic of general measures, one must go beyond the limits of regional unity ”. The Undersecretary even clarified that there is no general blockade problem.

“If for 14 days we all agreed to always wear our mask and keep our distance, the virus would have been eliminated.” This is not happening, but the more we follow the measures, the more the spread of the virus is limited, “he said.
