The week in which we live is considered crucial for the decisions that the government will take to lift the restrictive measures.
Developments with the number of cases, the number of patients but those in the ICU, will be three of the factors that will determine when our life begins to return to normal.
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who has daily meetings with infectious disease specialists, awaits their suggestions for schools, as well as for retail and catering, with plans and proposals that change from day to day based on epidemiological data.
The extension of the blockade for the treatment of the coronavirus generally ends next Monday, December 7, so by Friday it is expected to clear the panorama for its gradual elimination, while in the last 24 hours 1,044 new cases were registered, while 600 are intubated. and 85 the dead.

The special committee of specialists in infectious diseases will analyze the latest epidemiological data and together with the government will make the final decisions.
Prime Minister showed … extent of confinement
According to the latest information, the prime minister is expected to address the Greek people at the end of the week, to show the “way” of our country out of the blockade.
It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving office.
Mr. Mitsotakis emphasized in all directions that they should stop talking about dates and look only at the real scientific data: “We have no doubt that we still have some difficult days ahead of us and as soon as the discussion on The way we will of the strict restrictions, I want to emphasize once again that we must not talk about dates, we must talk about data ”.
Then he became more revealing, highlighting: “In the decisions we have to make, taking into account the suggestions of the experts, we must be careful. Our path may seem slower, but it will be safer and safer. And above all, it must be a path without setbacks ”. 
“It is clear that the cases have remitted, although the closure measures were not followed by all. But now the Rt transmission rate has fallen below 1, while the percentage of positivity has dropped to 9.18%,” he said. the professor of Pediatrics and member of the Expert Committee for the coronavirus, Vana Papaevangelou.
With society looking at the holidays, Mrs. Papaevangelou identified as the factors that will judge Christmas Eve on the one hand the great dispersion in the community at the national level and on the other hand the pressure of the UCI, qualifying as ideal the gradual lifting of measures a change in our behavior. “
For his part, the adjunct professor of epidemiology Gikas Majorkinis stressed that the infection reproduction rate, reflected in the Rt index, does not reflect the epidemiological burden, since unlike the decreasing index, the epidemiological burden is high and refers to It was early November.
This means that any relaxation in the behavior of citizens will immediately trigger the reproduction of the infection.
Most scientists are equally skeptical about returning to normal life, as they are only a week away from completing the quarantine extension and failing to achieve the goal of doubling the number of new cases. In this sense, “there is no way we can open on December 7,” said Matina Pagoni, vice president of doctors at the Athens-Piraeus hospital, yesterday, as both the number of cases and the number of patients is still high, which will cause a further increase in intubation in the next 10 days.
On the contrary, the president of the Hellenic Society of Infections, Panagiotis Gargalianos, referred to the gradual lifting of the confinement, the date of which is still unknown. Mr. Gargalianos was optimistic, referring to the possibility of limiting the spread of the deadly virus in our country until Christmas. 
Thoughts on schools
It remains a question, after all, what will happen to schools and this concerns not only when, but also how they will open, because on the table there is always the stage of opening only primary and kindergartens.
The only positive element is the new reduction in cases yesterday and the finding of the experts that the transmissibility index (Rt) has decreased after a long time to levels below unity. However, intubations in the ICU remain high, around 600, while the pressure on the health system in areas with an epidemiological burden, such as northern Greece and Thessaly, remains in the red.
The situation in Greece
Cases of coronavirus in our country are greatly reduced compared to the previous days, giving us a “ray” of optimism. At the same time, the number of deaths remains low, while the number of intubated patients is stable but high.
