It will take more time for the number of deaths and intubation patients to fall in Intensive Care Units, according to experts who see a marginal improvement in the image after the imposition of the second emergency shutdown.
However, scientists remain extremely cautious about lifting the restrictive measures, as the number of cases remains high. The positivity rate according to the tests carried out is around 11.8%, well above the 4% threshold, which currently does not allow relaxation measures. It is characteristic that the president of the Panhellenic Medical Association called for the quarantine to be extended until the cases drop and if necessary, the measures should be stricter as in March.
Vatopoulos: Deaths and intubations will be reduced in a week
“The coronavirus is all over Greece,” said Microbiology professor Alkiviadis Vatopoulos, highlighting that strict adherence to the measures is the main component for reducing the spread of the virus.
As he said in the main Alpha newsletter, the first results of the confinement that was imposed in early November are gradually being seen in the country, while it will take more time for the number of deaths and intubated patients to decrease.
“We are beginning to see an improvement, which I hope will continue. The number of deaths and intubations will not decrease for another week,” stressed the professor of Microbiology and then added: “The measures must be observed with reverence, to protect ourselves. It is absolutely clear that the virus is all over Greece. Where we do not see many cases, with poor management, people will get stuck again. It is an unstable balance. “
Then there will be no third wave of coronavirus
Finally, Mr. Vatopoulos noted that “in the last three days we see a leveling off. Cases have started to stabilize a bit and we will definitely take our last breath when the vaccine arrives. It requires reverent adherence to measures and self-protection.” With these, I think we can overcome the great difficulty, without the third wave, “he concluded.
Hexadecimal: quarantine until cases are significantly reduced
The president of the Panhellenic Medical Association, Athanasios Exadaktylos, stressed when speaking with STAR that the quarantine will continue until the cases are significantly reduced. I think the lockdown will extend. It does not make sense to think that on December 1 we will have the measures lifted … We must focus on reducing the number of infections because that number will judge the intubated and the deaths, he said, among other things.
