Estimates of 40,000 active cases in Attica and up to 70,000 in Thessaloniki
Meanwhile, the estimate that at this time may be circulating up to 40,000 active cases of coronavirus in Attica, did the professor of analytical chemistry at EKPA, Nikos Thomaidis, a number that results from the analysis of the viral load in the wastewater of Psyttalia. At the same time in Thessaloniki The situation is worse, since according to the professor of environmental engineering at the Aristotle University Demosthenes Sarrigiannis, the active cases in the city range between 60,000 and 70,000.
In his speech on OPEN’s morning show, Mr. Thomaidis explained the procedure followed in the EKPA laboratories, in order to draw the necessary conclusions for the viral load percentages found in wastewater. As he said, while the laboratory examines the previous day’s wastewater dailyhowever, you can form a picture of how the spread of the virus will move a few days before EODY registration with field tests.
According to him, the October 28 samples examined on October 29 show an average value of 33,000 cases, with a range of 28,000 – 40,000 active cases.
The reason for the large discrepancy in assessment is partly due to the fact that an asymptomatic carrier deposits a lot different viral load from a seriously ill patient, said the professor.
It should be noted that in the first wave, the maximum viral load in the sewers was found between March 28 and 29, which corresponded to 20,000 active cases and a prevalence of around 0.5% in Attica.

Speaking to OPEN, he said that this day is approaching, as “it was something predictable”, while stressing that “it is important to take tougher measures and put them into practice.”
According to him, the biggest open wound is the question of “de Public transport“What are” a significant source of transmission. We need to reduce viral load by busesHe pointed at the professor.
Scattering for them students is small as “the transmission rate in schools is 5%. However, it is also necessary to reduce the viral load in the classroom ”, he added, while expressing the conviction that“ the situation can be picked up ”.
