The new measures that are on the table

As revealed by MEGA, in 15 days the government will decide whether to proceed with a general blockade throughout the country.

The critical date is November 9, while critical decisions will be made this Friday.

According to information, the next measures that the government is considering are:

  • Prohibition of traffic outside the prefecture. It is not yet clear how it will be implemented, although it already applies to prefectures that are at alarm level 4. It is not allowed to move from one prefecture to another in these areas. Specifically, it is not allowed to leave Kozani and Kastoria prefectures, which are in red.
  • Padlock in focus. On the table is the Paris-type measure, that is, to close the restaurants after 9 pm.
  • In the immediate future, the cessation (prohibition) of traffic will be deemed to have been made before 00:30. This is a measure that has already been proposed to the Committee on Infectious Diseases.
  • Increase telework
  • Travel restriction for citizens over 65. A measure that had been heard, had been refuted, but is once again taking center stage.

What areas are on the brink of closure

At the same time, one after another, the northern regions of Greece are “blushing” on the health security map, as, as the government and infectious disease specialists have repeatedly stressed, this is a dynamic situation that can change anytime.

Indicative of the critical situation is that Sotiris Tsiodras was “recruited” in the update. “It is impossible to control the spread.” I say with a clear conscience that we are not losing hope, “said Sotiris Tsiodras.” The voice of conscience must speak. Things are clearly worse in the second wave. Did we know that? Did we expect it? Yes. It is not just a time of responsibility, it is a time of awareness. It is a choice that we will make, “he said.

After Kozani and Kastoria, which are already at the “red” level, following a meeting of infectious disease specialists, it was decided that two new regions will move to the highest alert level.

Ioannina from Thursday, and specifically from 06:00 in the morning, goes to level 4 of increased alarm, while the same applies to Serres who were also at level 3 and enter level 4.

Now, attention has also turned to Thessaloniki, where it registered 384 cases in the last 24 hours, with a huge increase compared to the previous days.
