The words that will give the stigma in Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ speech today are “gradually” and “carefully”. The government’s plan to “unlock” the country will unfold in three different time phases and will last a total of two months. In general, the first phase will begin in early May, the next in late May and then in mid-June. The plan is dynamic and will constantly change based on the data. Characteristically, the consecutive meetings that took place throughout the weekend at the Palacio Maximos began with the prospect that the opening would take place earlier and finally end more slowly. After all, government officials, speaking to “K,” point out that we should not rush, since haste can be a bad advisor. Therefore, Maximos’s basic logic is to move conservatively and “unlock” the country with very careful steps. The plan is currently only for the early phases of May. Beyond that, everything is on paper and will depend on how the disease spreads. It is evident that if on May 20, that is, two weeks after the first opening, we have increased the cases, everything will go further back, while the resumption of professional activities by KAD was even discussed. The plan at this time is as follows:
Starting May 4, retail, small commercials, will gradually begin to open. At the same time, hairdressers will open. In addition, from the same date, the SMS and the travel form will be abolished, while in the first round of lifting the measures will be the opening of churches only for individual worship and with rules for the maximum number of believers to be can be found inside the church. On May 11, the opening of schools for the 3rd Lyceum in view of the Panhellenic Games is safe. It is not ruled out that secondary education will open on the same date. A different plan is for the opening of the other middle school and high school classes to be postponed until May 18 and a week later, that is, May 25, to open the elementary schools. Otherwise, elimination of movement from the prefecture to the prefecture should not be expected immediately and in any case will be considered for May 25 or June 1. The first travel survey will apply only to mainland Greece and not to the islands, access to which will be allowed later, either on June 1 or June 8.
At the beginning of the first month of summer we will wait for the opening of cafes and restaurants, of course, all with specific rules. At the same time, the opening of 12-month hotels, outdoor sports facilities, and museums and archaeological sites is being determined. Department stores are likely to open in mid-June, along with remotely-operated utilities, playgrounds, and parks. The covered sports facilities will be held on June 15 or 22 together with the event venues. The opening of the seasonal hotels is scheduled for the end of June. In any case, all of the above is a plan, since decisions will be made step by step and will be based on the image that will be formed by epidemiologists who will study mathematical models. The government will impose fines by category and occasion to comply with the rules and allow citizens to be disciplined in the new data.
All this will be specified after the Prime Minister’s speech by Mr. Sotiris Tsiodras and Nikos Hardalias and the Deputy Ministers Nikos Papathanasis, Theodoros Livanios, Giannis Kefalogiannis and Vassilis Kontozamanis.
However, before the above, which will begin to develop gradually from May 4, there is May Day. The government wants to avoid overcrowding, which is why it was announced yesterday that the celebrations will be postponed until Saturday after the first lifting of the measures. In fact, yesterday, government spokesman St. Petsas emphasized that what was in effect for Easter also applies to May Day, leaving open the possibility of increasing fines or other measures to restrict traffic.
