the unsteady gait of our country in the field of the epidemic, in a course that is now characterized by setbacks and setbacks in the circle of measures, and not by moving away from them.
The strong epidemiological alarm that sounded last night for Attica, since the epidemiologists of the Committee of Experts decided, seeing the epidemiological data, to classify them in the “red”, that is, the very overwhelmed areas, the basin, is undoubtedly a critical factor . factor in this.
This is because the change in epidemiological level in Attica implies a strong network of restrictions that drastically change the … partial regularity in which the approximately 4 million inhabitants of Attica were found, from traffic to the operation of retail trade , but also the regularity that had been launched with the return of high school students to the classroom.
Given that the “red” Attica has indeed special characteristics, population, economy, etc., it is considered highly probable that the scientists of the Committee of Experts during their teleconference today will redefine the measures and restrictions, always following the general direction that is contraction of mobility and population cohesion, and therefore of the crown. The scenarios that are being examined for schools are to postpone the opening of Gymnasiums and Lyceums, or to open Gymnasiums on Monday, February 1 and keep Lyceums closed. What is considered almost certain to contain the boom is the resumption of the retail operation in one click.
According to the information, epidemiologists suggested entering the maximum epidemiological surveillance, and the Euboea and Acaya. Especially with regard to Attica, epidemiologists decided, evaluating epidemiological data, to subject Attica to increased “red” surveillance, fearing an outbreak that would probably lead to a third wave, as happened with the epidemic outbreak in Thessaloniki that gave the dynamic impulse of the second epidemic wave.
The drastic changes in the epidemiological map are expected to be presented this afternoon during the briefing at the Ministry of Health, led by the Deputy Minister of Civil Protection, Mr. Nikos Hardalias.
Attica’s “burden”
Yesterday, the report of the National Public Health Organization (EODY) showed one more day the load of the basin, although it was lower compared to the previous two days. Notably, 313 new diagnoses were announced compared to more than 400 that were announced on Tuesday and Wednesday.
According to epidemiological data from the last 24 hours, many Regional Units in Attica have a very high rate of cases per 100,000 inhabitants. First is the Piraeus (12.47) and follow: West Athens sector (10.82), north Athens sector (8.79), West Attica (8.08), Oriental Attica (7.76), Central Athens sector (6.9), From the south Athens sector (5.28) and Islands (1.34).
The experts took into account the quality data of the positive coronary cases in the peripheral units, the increase in cases, the speed of increase or decrease in each region. A common place in their suggestions was that Attica is a very difficult area and a spread in it is not easily controlled. The difficult parameters of winter and cold, mutations (7 other British mutations were announced yesterday in our country, a total of 66 have been identified) as well as the vaccine war in Europe probably facilitated the scientists in their decision for the alarm in Attica.
A total of 716 new diagnoses were announced yesterday, somewhat lower than yesterday and the day before yesterday. However, the number of tests – 15,796 molecular and 18,248 rapid – is part of a fictitious epidemiological picture. The problem of the domestic testing policy was pointed out yesterday in TEMA 104.6 by the Pathologist – Specialist in Infectious Diseases and member of the Expert Committee of the Ministry of Health, Mr. Marios Lazanas, highlighting the need for more tests “to know what is happening in the communityAnd especially in the cases of asymptomatic people responsible for “more than 50% of dispersion».
Another fact that the experts evaluated is load from Healthcare system in Attica. Of the 135 new admissions to the nation’s hospitals in the past 24 hours, 42 were in Attica hospitals. However, on Tuesday and Wednesday patient admissions to Attica hospitals had skyrocketed, rising to 73 and 77 respectively.
The suffocating pressure in the basin is evidenced by the fullness of the ICU-COVID-19 beds 63%, according to yesterday’s data from Mr. Kikilias, as well as those announced by the Panhellenic Federation of Public Hospital Employees (POEDIN) on the admission of patients with COVID-19 disease in the Units and typical examples of the dramatic situation in the hospitals “Gennimatia “,”, “Evangelism” and “Salvation”. In total, 138 patients are being cared for in 198 ICU beds and 60 are vacant. However, it is evident that with the increase in hospital admissions, the downward trend registered in the hard intubated index -286 yesterday from 274 the day before yesterday-, it will soon begin to decline.
Vaccine “war” is raging: Greece continues normally
Faster vaccination coverage of the population against COVID-19 is considered more urgent than ever, and the incidence of the new coronavirus mutation is increasing.
The “Eleftheria” operation is progressing steadily, with 18,335 vaccinations in the last 24 hours and a total of 232,070. According to the declarations of the Secretary General of Primary Health Care, Mr. Marios Themistokleous, 26 million reach the quantities of vaccines that have been agreed to deliver to Greece by the end of the year, enough for 15.4 million citizens.
The vaccination coverage rate is 2%, said Mr. Themistokleous, and the appointments that have been closed are around 700,000 as of early April.
