How close to level 4 is Attica?
When asked how close Attica is to level 4, Hardalias said that based on current data we are far away since integration of Attica at level 4, and each applied measure remains to bring some results.
“For the time being curve in Attica remains flat. There is one Pressure to ICU, in intubated But these are issues that are 17 criteria that are taken into account by different organizations to reach our final decision about what is happening and what can be expected. “This whole approach is based on scientific data,” he said, adding that “things are completely simplified. Until now, the question was what measures would we take and if one measure is valid and if the other measure is valid, now the question is at what level each region will be classified. This decision is a decision that we discuss every Wednesday, every 14 days we update, by a special committee that is made up of 6 epidemiologists and people who deal with this part “.
What about the masks?
About use of mask And if something has changed in this regard, Mr. Hardalias stated that “it has not changed the least on the subject of the mask.

For the concentration in the Court of Appeals and the risk of spreading the virus in Athens

In any case, from what I share with epidemiologists, I feel this can create a small or large outbreak. Any synchronicity big or small carries risks. We say it from the first moment. “A case where 20,000 people gather in one area will almost certainly bring up specific cases, which we avoid but are here to treat.”
“Worse scenario than the confinement”
At the same time, the president of the Panhellenic Medical Association Athanasius Six fingers beaten “BellFor the faithful observance of the protection measures for the coronavirus as he characteristically said “we want society and the economy to open up.”

“I don’t see any reason for someone to wear a mask if they go out alone,” he told ANT1.
At the same time, the president of the Panhellenic Medical Association, stressed that the results of the meeting in front of the Court of Appeal of the Golden Dawn, will be seen in about ten days.
Regarding the measures taken by our country for the coronavirus, he stressed that “they have taken on time and if we had better compliance we could have a better result. “
Finally, on the possibility of a new emergency shutdown in Greece, Mr. Exadaktylos stated that it depends on how we behave.
“There is something worse than a confinement. The delayed blockade.” There is a double problem: both the problem of confinement and the problem of delay, which means a great health crisis, “he stressed.
However, according to the president of the Panhellenic Medical Association, the situation in our country is still reversible.
