The opening of seasonal stores, followed by the opening of retail, even with the click away method, and then the operation of hairdressers and bookstores can give a “smell” of regularity this Christmas, but it is clear that nothing will not remember previous years.
Our traditional Christmas and New Years habits will seem like a distant memory this year, as the strict lockdown measures will remain in effect until at least January 7. Among them is the night curfew.
Due to the opening of the stores, a small extension may have been given, so the traffic ban will take effect from 22:00, instead of the previous 21:00, but not at this time it is expected to relax at Christmas and New Years. Despite the που window that the government left open, today Stelios Petsas stressed that as of Sunday the curfew will be in force from 10 at night to 5 in the morning, and so far no special attention is foreseen for certain days. .
“The calendar is not going to be extended. Each family must celebrate alone or up to 9 people,” he emphasized, adding with sense that in the coming days we will see if there will be a special procedure for Christmas and New Year’s Eve. 
Forget about new year’s eve
So this practically means that we have to say goodbye at noon or in the evening until 22:00. Otherwise, if someone moves to a house where there will be a maximum of two families in a house, since the government has indicated that it is the maximum allowed, for the traditional New Year’s Eve they must also spend the night where they will celebrate.
At the same time, of course, scientists ring the alarm bell for the spread of the virus on New Year’s Eve at Christmas and New Years small and large.
Indicative are the words of the professor of infectious diseases, Nikos Sypsas, in the main news bulletin of the SKAI television network.
“Any family reunion can lead to dispersal. I am not saying that because it is bad but because we see it.” The data tells us one thing: family dispersal, “he said, adding that data from epidemiologists clearly shows that the virus is It has spread to homes.
Answering the question of whether there should be up to nine people or two families at the festive table, he reiterated that in each family there may be an infected but asymptomatic person. He added that no family should be considered safe and warned that a festive table could end with sick or even intubated guests at the hospital. 
Sunday “Premiere” for Retail and … click
However, before we get to Christmas and New Year’s Eve, tomorrow Sunday the retail will “debut”, via μ click away.
According to government announcements, starting tomorrow, stores will be able to open optionally, exclusively with the click away method, while supermarkets will also be able to receive consumers.
The preparations in the retail stores are now frantic, since throughout Christmas, at least until January 7, their mode of operation will be radically different.
Click away does not allow consumers to physically tour the stores.
Instead, they must choose the products they want to purchase through a commercial electronic store or by ordering over the phone at the store. Traders see click away as a step towards partial regularity, since transport companies that have been “stuck” by the huge volume of orders will also be registered.

For businesses that don’t have an e-store, phone orders are one-way. For this reason, in many cities, merchants, who do not have an electronic store, put up posters in their stores, informing consumers that they can take a photo of the window and the prices, and then place orders.
In addition, for stores that do not have an e-shop, transactions will be carried out through an “intermediary” platform, the e-katanalotis, through which the market’s SMS will be sent to consumers free of charge. to the enterprise.
Note that travel code 2 allows you to go to a store in another area but not outside your area of residence.
The witness is taken by hairdressers and bookstores
After the shops, Monday follows the hairdressers and bookstores, which are expected to accumulate after 5 weeks. Both the hairdressers and the 1,784 bookstores throughout the country will operate extended hours from 7 am to 9 pm.
The same applies to bookstores as to essential stores (supermarkets, etc.), that is, 4 people per 100 square meters. or 1 person for 15 square meters. for stores of more than 100 square meters.

When it comes to hairdressers, the distance between the jobs is 2 meters. Clients may only arrive by appointment, and employers will keep a list of appointments available for auditors to audit. Of course, wearing a mask is mandatory for both employees and customers. It is noted that the opening on Monday does not affect manicure and pedicure services, or beauty salons.
It is stated that the use of a mask is mandatory for clients and staff of hairdressers-barbershops, and distances between them of 2 meters must be observed. 
The fears of the experts
The health authorities are watching the course of the pandemic as well as the unbalanced factor of Christmas that can trigger departures, synchronizations, citizen meetings and, therefore, a new spread of the virus.
The possibility of the third wave, immediately after the holidays, or a recovery from the second epidemic wave, worries those responsible, especially in combination with the winter weather that will greatly facilitate new transmissions and the enormous pressure on the health system and the employees.
The experts appeal to the public to observe all the measures planned for the new operation of the market (telephone or electronic orders and collection outside the store) as well as for the celebration of Christmas, New Year and Epiphany.
Speaking to SKAI, Nikos Sypsas stressed that according to forecasts, the number of intubated in our country will drop to 200, which is a safe number, around January 15 and not before.
“January, he stressed, will be a difficult period and we must be prepared for it, since the health system is already at its limits,” he stressed.
As he said, the map is crimson in terms of ICU bed availability, he noted, although he wished we didn’t see difficult situations.
Given the drop in temperature, he pointed out that each degree that falls affects between 4% and 5% the so-called Rt index.
At the same time, on the click away, he stressed that each opening, even a small one, causes an increase in the spread of the virus that will be seen within 15 days.
“If the click away does not work and we have overcrowding, then we will not only have an increase, but an epidemic explosion,” Sypsas said, adding that this is the reason that led the Development Minister to say that if we see images of Harrods, then the click away will be removed.
“If, on the contrary, click away works, it is the least we can do to have some kind of market at Christmas,” concluded the professor.
For his part, in statements to MEGA, Manolis Dermitzakis, Professor of Genetic Medicine at the University of Geneva, stressed that “the case reductions have come too late, we still have a problem in hospitals. It bothers me that the case reduction balance is so shaky that it can easily be turned around and see an increase. When a lockdown is implemented, which is essentially an extreme measure of transmission reduction and we see local increases, the exceptions given were many or people are breaking the rules to a large extent. “Whatever it is, it’s worrying.”
Likewise, the pulmonologist, gynecologist and president of the Greek intensive care company, Anastasia Kotanidou, said that “the recommendation of the infectious diseases committee was that there should be no relaxation in the Christmas and New Year schedule.”
Regarding the positive news, Ms Kotanidou, speaking on SKAI radio, announced that “yesterday for the first time we had 65 more downloads than imports nationwide.”
Finally, he pointed out that “if we continue like this, next week on Monday we will have very positive results.”
