Coronavirus – All the news: Two more areas, Ioannina and Serres, joined the “red” level of alarm on the health security map due to the coronavirus, as announced by the Deputy Minister of Civil Protection and Crisis Management, Nikos Hardalias, during today’s information session on the pandemic in our country.
The Infectious Diseases Committee constantly reviews the data and proposes new measures in the fight against the spread of the coronavirus in our country.
Answering a relevant question during today’s briefing, the infectious disease specialist Sotiris Tsiodras, stated that one of the measures under discussion is movement restriction between the areas that will “go” red.
As the professor characteristically said, this measure was discussed today in committee and it will also be put to a vote.
“Brutal option lock”
When asked about a possible closure in Attica, Sotiris Tsiodras said that “the colors of the map are being examined by a team of epidemiologists and We are talking for each area, how many active cases are there, if the health system is under pressure, etc. and based on this discussion We decide if there will be a change of state.. Measurements are not a panacea. We constantly evaluate them. In some areas they work more easily. “
Clarify how emergency shutdown is he last measure that the government is considering and highlighted that it is brutal choice.
As he said, in the first phase of the pandemic “we did it because we didn’t know anything. It is a virus in which we have no immunity and we never had so many people in intensive care in September or October. The world groans. “
Tsiodras characterized particularly critical the next two weeks.
As he said, it has been observed that in two to three weeks after cases begin to increase in the young, the virus is transmitted to the elderly.
In particular, he highlighted that the number of cases in people over 50 years of age has doubled in recent weeks. As Tsiodras said, referring to the example of Switzerland, “the situation may not be controlled if the positivity continues above 4%. He himself revealed that now the positivity, the rate of positive coronavirus diagnoses in hospitals is 4.4%, while two weeks ago it was around 3%. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), as Mr. Tsiodras said, “sets a limit of 4% positivity.” We are there and our goal is to implement the measures to reduce it below 4%, we have this margin ” , he concluded.
Responding to a question from APE-MPE about imposition of new measures, He said that this issue has already been raised in the commission, stressing that “we are thinking of other measures that could work more, in addition to the measures that have already been taken ”.
In fact, wanting to give an example, he said that there are circumstances in our life that we need to speak out loud, be very close to each other, indirectly but clearly referring to funny. As he stressed, “the music must be low so that we can listen and not have to scream anymore, since the more we scream, the more air drops are emitted from our mouth.”
The professor, without wanting to reveal what measures will be discussed in the commission next Thursday, spoke about review of distances in focus and sport, especially in sports that require physical contact.
