Dermitzakis: to 4000 cases next week – Strict measures now and everywhere

Professor Manolis Dermitzakis made predictions of 3,000-4,000 cases of coronavirus within the next week, proposing a package of measures valid for many months, to be implemented horizontally throughout the country, and not depending on the level of “alarm”.

“The situation is difficult and we are on growth curves, reminiscent of European curves. Let’s go fast to big numbers. From the moment we see a doubling of cases in 5-7 days, in a week the numbers can reach 3,000-4,000. That means it is growing fast and we cannot do test rounds with measurements and wait to see if they work to get the next one. That is why in the next few hours the government must take the last and heaviest package of measures before the general shutdown. “We have to overcome the virus.”

The professor of Genetics at the University of Geneva also called for the closure of restaurants, as well as the previous ban on domestic traffic.

“I think that the committee’s proposal to close restaurants earlier and restrict traffic should be implemented throughout Greece and not just in the red zones. Although there are areas that are more epidemiologically burdened, the areas are so small and the changes so fast that no we can discuss whether an area is red or not. The heaviest measures should be applied horizontally throughout the country“, He is stressed.

Mr. Dermitzakis also commented that the implementation of measures every week is a problem, since the intensity with which citizens assimilate the measures decreases, while on the other hand “development is so fast that we cannot wait.”

At the same time, he stressed that “for countries to open and close, for me, is wrong. We need to find a package of measures, like the one we are discussing now, that we will implement for months. Because conditions are worsening we cannot relax. as well as going. For me, the logic of that We do a heavy close, cases drop and then we celebrate Christmas, as it happened in summer, it is wrong ”.
