The situation that prevails with the coronavirus in the country is worrying, since the cases remain at high levels, with Attica being a black point of the epidemic since it emerges daily as a “champion” with almost half of the cases.
EKPA School of Medicine professor and Expert Committee member Gikas Majorkinis may have spoken about stabilizing cases during Tuesday’s briefing, however the fact that the death toll is rising rapidly – registering a record since the start of the pandemic – and the situation in urban centers is more difficult to manage, the alarm sounds in the scientific community.
The president of the Association of Hospital Doctors of Athens – Piraeus, Matina Pagoni, stated that “if we don’t wear masks outdoors, things get difficult”, speaking of a very slight decrease in cases in Attica, which is not enough .
Today, 207 of the 453 cases were registered in Attica, which is still at level 3 of the health insurance map, with the highest risk campaign, that is, level 4 threatening it.

The thoughts of the government
According to information from MEGA, Kyriakos Mitsotakis is following the data and proposals of the experts and will not hesitate to impose a blockade on Attica, if deemed necessary.
The Prime Minister’s associates clarify that he listens to infectious disease specialists, monitors the situation and, if he deems it necessary, will also quarantine the basin.

He called on people to continue implementing the current measures, to avoid taking new ones, something that government officials constantly repeat.
Dermitzakis: Blocking is not a good solution
Manolis Dermitzakis, professor of genetics at the University of Geneva, spoke this Thursday morning about the rapid increase in cases around the world and the situation in our country.
Referring to Paris and the new strict restrictive measures announced yesterday, Manolis Dermitzakis said there is a global increase in cases, which is attributed in part to the arrival of winter. “There has been a huge increase in the last two weeks, it has been observed in many countries,” he told MEGA.
It should take an example of what happens around us, to avoid the worst, he explained, noting: “Now we must learn the measures to be protected when the most difficult conditions arrive.”
Focusing on wearing a mask, Mr. Dermitzakis noted that it is “a very important weapon”, but it is not a panacea. Along with wearing a mask, all other protection rules must be observed, most importantly distance.
Regarding the NSS, the professor stated that “since the total number of cases is not huge, it is easier to handle.”
An important role is played by the fact that the cases are scattered throughout the country and not concentrated in one place, since the health system can respond better in this way. “If all the cases that Greece has were in Thessaloniki, it would be much more difficult to handle than being dispersed as it is now.”
