The new horizontal measures, most likely at the municipal level, that is, interventions at the local level, will be announced by the government tomorrow afternoon.
The ads will refer to the universal use of the mask in places, as this measure looks like a one-way street in areas that have been “blushed” due to the coronavirus.
Specifically, the poor epidemiological picture that various regions of Greece have been showing for quite some time in combination with the dangerous outbreaks of the disease and the fact that a difficult winter is coming according to epidemiologists, leads the government to take new horizontal measures, there will be local character.
The information from in.gr affirms that a large part of epidemiologists have put the universal use of the mask on the table, but not in the entire prefecture of Attica (or another prefecture in the region with many cases). It will be the imposition of measures at the municipal level.
Therefore, tomorrow afternoon during the emergency briefing at the Ministry of Health, the universal use of a mask in specific areas of Attica will be announced.
It should be remembered that in the “target” of the coronavirus, Attica has been at the fore for a long time, which in fact collected more than 50% of the total cases announced yesterday. 
It is noted that other areas of Greece are in red, such as Imathia, Pella, Pieria, Kilkis, Crete, Halkidiki, Lesbos, Mykonos and Zakynthos, but in which the use of a mask has already been imposed abroad. places.
The government spokesperson, Stelios Petsas, also mentioned the extraordinary measures during the briefing of the political authors, noting that by order of the Prime Minister, the experts will prepare a list of measures in Attica.
“The combination of the outbreak of cases at the international level and the fact that we are opening schools and we will have more mobility and we will have a greater epidemiological burden in some areas, for example in Attica and Pella, makes us be vigilant and the Prime Minister has asked for the committee of experts to draw up a list of measures at the local or general level if necessary, “said Stelios Petsas.
We are ready to take any new measures that are necessary, stressed Stelios Petsas, referring to the pandemic, as he stressed that the coming months will be difficult.
This is evidenced by the outbreak of cases in Europe and the world, he cited and cited the examples of France, saying that since the beginning of the pandemic more than 30,910 people have lost their lives, as well as the example of Israel, where it is proceeding. with a new lock.
The Minister of Health, Vassilis Kikilias, was the first to speak today about local measures at the level of Municipalities in Attica, highlighting:
“Let me remind you that Attica includes 5 million people, it is half of Greece. Obviously we cannot think of taking such reckless horizontal measures for the entire Attica region. Epidemiologically, EODY and our scientists analyze the data and Civil Protection comes and implements more local measures depending on the point where there is an outbreak. 
So, I see that this picture is being scientifically formed little by little, so that we can intervene more locally, at the municipal level, with horizontal measures or with some specific measures to eventually reduce a local influx or an outbreak ”.
Fear of stigmatization of areas
However, at the same time, such a decision could not fail to create problems, especially at the local level.
In other words, it is not unlikely that there is fear of stigmatization of the areas that will be under the roof of the horizontal measures to be announced tomorrow.
Therefore, according to information from in.gr, the proposal for the universal use of a mask has not yet left the government table, this time at the prefectural level, which would mean that the measure would be applied in all municipalities of Attica.
In any case, it is certain that the universal use of the mask in places would have an impact on the commercial movement of the area, as well as in restaurants. 
Municipalities in Attica that are in “red”
The municipalities of Attica that still have the highest epidemiological burden are the municipalities of Athens and Piraeus.
As for the southern suburbs, there is a significant decrease in the number of new cases compared to previous weeks that had a high epidemic burden, which is due to the immediate intervention of the municipalities.
Finally, regarding the image of the northern periphery, the cases remain at high levels, without being in the “red”. 
In any case, the final decision of the government will be announced tomorrow at 6:00 p.m. during the periodic information session on the coronavirus at the Ministry of Health, while the possibility of announcing a change in the operation of the stores in Attica in order to avoid configuration in MMM.
