Experts’ concerns about the outbreak of cases in recent days in the country were confirmed by the professor of pathology and infectious diseases at the University of Patras, Charalambos Gogos, who did not rule out the possibility of seeing up to 2,000 cases to the end of week.
Speaking on the “MEGA Society Time” program, Charalambos Gogos, Professor of Pathology and Infectious Diseases at the University of Patras, noted that people should be properly informed and follow the measures to keep the situation manageable.
“We expect the cases to drop, but the dynamics of our growth creates the feeling that we will probably have even more, so we will have to look at the issue more decisively.”
The professor did not rule out the possibility of seeing up to 2,000 cases over the weekend.
Thessaloniki is in “red”
One of the most affected areas is Thessaloniki, where the situation in the city is not good.
Hundreds of cases are putting pressure on the health system, as Thessaloniki is a Covid-19 referral center for northern Greece.
Mr. Gogos stressed that the city will go to the red level of the epidemiological map “because the situation there is difficult.”
Strengthening distance learning and telework
Regarding the measures that have been taken, the professor stressed that they can be effective if they are implemented to the maximum.
“If the measures are implemented to the maximum and we have great compliance, they are sufficient. The downside is that we can’t have 100% compliance. “
However, the increase in cases may lead to further measures. On the table is the strengthening of distance education and teleworking, while in the areas that are in “red”, it is possible that restaurants close after 9:00 pm.
“You have to reduce the concentration of the people.”
Referring to the situation of the pandemic in Europe, he pointed out that Greece is in a better situation than most European countries, however we should not get to the point of France, with thousands of cases and hundreds of deaths, to take action.
“Now is the time to take more decisive action. Not a general blockade, but a partial one, which will reduce the virus.”
