The Prime Minister is determined to take drastic restrictive measures to stop the rampant spread of the Coronavirus. The latest information wants it Kyriako Mitsotaki in his televised message to the Greek people announcing closing focus in areas located in “orange” like Attica region that yesterday registered 422 cases. This measurement is already valid in all areas in red.
The original scenario was for restaurants, bars, and cafes to close at 9 p.m., but data provided by infectious disease specialists showed that disease transmission rates are particularly high in restaurants, especially at a young age. However ta delivery and “take out” store will function normally as was the case with the general shutdown last spring. The measures that Kyriakos Mitsotakis will announce today will be valid according to the data so far for a month and will be evaluated every fifteen days.
The health system is under pressure
The fact that our country remains stable in recent days more than 1200 cases while yesterday a new negative record was reached reaching 1690 prompted the government to tighten measures immediately, as the spread of the disease appears to be out of control.
At the same time, the healthcare system is under suffocating pressure Intensive care units they are filled while the strength of the medical and nursing staff is tested daily. The number of intubated patients is constantly increasing to 128, up from 89 ten days ago.
Traffic ban is extended
At the same time, the Prime Minister will announce curfew extension on peripherals that are in “red” and “orange” alarm. The most likely scenario is that it is valid from 10 pm but there is also information that speaks at 11 pm.
With this move the prohibition to pass from the prefecture to the law will not proceed from the moment the traffic ban will be measured. This issue was of particular concern to employees in the region who need to move to a different law every day from their place of residence to go to work.

Masks Everywhere – Expanding Telework
The outdoor outdoor mask measurement is valid for the entire country. Even for the few laws that are still “green”. In this way and with the appropriate distance, experts believe that the spread of the disease will be stopped and at the same time areas that until now have a low epidemiological burden will be protected. At the same time, the percentage of teleworking for the public and private sector is expected to increase, with information saying that will exceed 50%.
Gyms and theaters close
Gyms will go downhill again as only individual sports will be allowed starting Monday in prefectures that are in “orange”. Theaters and cinemas, which did not even manage to open, are also expected to be suspended.
The issue is the soccer matches of the lower categories, as in the amateur championship, which in many cases do not seem to comply with the protection measures against the pandemic.
Usually schools – Distance education in universities
So far no one has been able to submit the perfect solution, which is not strange. After all, throughout Europe, even in countries that have been closed as France schools are open as transmission of the disease appears to proceed at low rates. However, the same will not apply to universities where student co-integration is particularly strong. That is why it will probably be chosen the measure of distance learning except those who are in the last year and their specialty requires physical presence.
Support package for those affected by the measures
The Prime Minister, in addition to the announcements of the measures, will also refer to employee support which will be affected by the suspension of operations and which will be analyzed by Christos Staikouras. The Minister of Finance has had continuous meetings during the last 24 hours in order to find the resources to support the other human beings who will not be able to work due to the measures.
