«ΕI’m almost sure that with me a mild vaccination coverage, 40-50%, that we will have achieved in the summer, we will see a major recession from the epidemic. ΤWe will ditch personal protection measures when we see the numbers drop dramatically. Maybe from may», said the EKPA assistant professor Gikas Majorkinis, who stated that we are in the contraction of the second wave.
«The fact that some remain closed activities, which were associated with exponential growth within October November, it may allow us to say that the epidemic may move to stabilizing levels and not see a third wave. The pandemic outlook is currently improvingIt says characteristically.
However, Mr. Majorkinis considered that Mr. vaccination in Greece it will not be completed for the entire population before the summer.
In the matter of vaccinations Mr. Gikas, Saying that “At the end of the month the influx of vaccines will normalize and little by little we will have population coverage. I’m afraid of the delay in receiving it. “
