The extension of the lockdown is now considered almost certain, while official announcements are expected in the coming days. The extension will be valid for at least another week, that is, until December 7.
However, the government’s next steps on how the economy will slowly open will depend on expert input and epidemiological data. The lifting of the measures will be done gradually, and the beginning will be made with kindergartens and primary schools and then with retail.
The meetings at the Palace of the Maxima have been going on for many days in recent days and the suffocating pressure on the NSS from all ICUs is of particular concern. At the same time, cases are registering a small drop, but not at the desired rate, which is problematic. The situation remains suffocating in northern Greece, both in Thessaloniki and Imathia and Larissa, and the next few months are expected to be difficult, experts say.
On the other hand, the opening of the restaurant is a “puzzle” for government planning. The hardest part of the government puzzle is focus. “No date has been set,” the officials said, emphasizing that the goal is to ensure public health while supporting affected companies and employees.
According to the information, a condition to open the focus will be that the encouraging messages have been preceded by the gradual lifting of the restrictions, while there will be stricter operating rules than in the previous period and more controls for their compliance. The government’s first thoughts speak of an open approach on Christmas Eve. But not the bars and clubs.
If the experts allow it, the stores will be open from December 14. The opening of the retail trade will be done gradually and with strict rules to avoid overcrowding.
“When the experts give us a date of when we can open retail, it will be done in stages, as it was in May, from the smallest stores to the largest and with very strict rules. “Under no circumstances should there be overcrowding in very small spaces,” Adonis Georgiadis said.
