The opening of the retail trade with the click away method, starting next Monday, March 1, did not rule out the professor of Pathology at the University of Patras and member of the Expert Committee, Charalambos Gogos.
Speaking to SKAI and the TODAY program, he said the situation appears to have stabilized. “There is a basis for discussion to open retail from Monday in the sense that it does not seem to affect this operating system much, since there is mobility anyway,” he said.
However, the Pathology professor pointed out that education is still a big problem, as children have been out of school for a long time, while there is a big problem in higher education. “The discussion will take place for both of us and we will see which one is safer to begin with,” he said.
Possible prolongation of blockage and pressure on the NSS
However, Gogos left open the possibility of extending the closure in Attica for a week, at a time when the government expects a gradual lifting of the measures from next week.
“We are in a period of transition. From the moment of the dominance of the virus, we are now entering a phase in which we expect the dominance of vaccines to arrive. At this stage we must be very careful. We have good news, the curve has been Somewhat stabilized, the RT remains below 1 in Attica, although there are more difficult areas, such as Acaya, which is a little higher and things are more urgent, but generally epidemiologically in everything “. the territory, “he said.
However, according to Mr. Gogos, the response of the health system, especially in the ICU, will be delayed a little longer. “It just came to our attention then. An intense effort is being made at this time to open new COVID beds, mainly ICUs, which will operate if necessary,” he added.
Vaccines progress faster and more massively
Regarding vaccines, he said that “they are moving faster and more massively and we hope that there will be an immunization to open up more things”, emphasizing that mortality is already lower than it was.
In this context, as Gogos estimated, this may be the last strict lockdown, adding that restrictive measures may exist from time to time, but they will clearly be minor.
Finally, he affirmed that this year’s Holy Week for Greeks will be better than last year, leaving open the possibility even for the operation of churches with the presence of believers.
