The optimism that in a year we will be without masks was expressed by Charalambos Gogos, professor of pathology and infectious diseases and member of the infectious diseases committee, speaking with SKAI.

As he explained, “in 1 year we could remove the masks from the vision that vaccines will become widespread, there will be many platforms available, and until then we will have a large number of vaccines to vaccinate a large number of the population and transmit a disease that epidemic characteristics of a flu-like infection, but emphasized that it is understood that measures will be taken where and when necessary. “

Positive on the opening of elementary schools on January 11

Regarding the meeting that the infectious diseases committee will have on Monday and the opening of the comments, the professor said that it is everyone’s wish that schools be opened, but also that this process is safe, that is, that there is data that everything will be fine.

If things do not get worse and there is no increase in mobility, we can at least see the opening of primary schools from January 11, but since the opening will be horizontal, we must also consider “difficult” areas, such as Kozani.

On Monday we will have data on the celebration of Christmas. “It will be 10 days since then for us to know that our behaviors and mobility in those days reflect the epidemiological curve that exists and there will also be data from hospitals,” he said.

Regarding store openings, he said “I don’t see it right away” that we should see a steady decline if we have a real download from the system.

He also pointed out that in Attica there seems to be a stabilization of cases, not an improvement, while in Thessaloniki a rapid decline and if something happens in Attica, an outbreak, we will have many difficulties.

“Attica is one of the areas that we have our eyes on and our focus is on the area and it is one of the key areas that we will look at to make decisions for the future.”
