The measures proposed by specialists in infectious diseases
The Prime Minister received repeated – and to some extent contradictory – suggestions on what steps should be taken to halt the second wave of the pandemic, the onset of which “breaks” one negative record after another.
The proposals of the group of experts consulted by the Prime Minister can be summarized in two categories:
to the “Nuclear”, what do you require horizontal measurements wearing the mask everywhere, immediate restaurant closings, group gatherings, and curfews, and
b) the most “Moderate” which speak of stricter restrictions only in the “orange” and “red” areas and a restriction on the opening hours of health food stores, but not closing them, as this would have a significant impact on the economy and the industry already affected .
