New stricter blockade, which includes, among other things, a traffic ban from 6:00 p.m., click away closures, hairdressers and churches, announced Nikos Hardalias for three areas of West Attica. The measures go into effect from sunrise to Christmas Eve.
This is a decision that did not erupt like lightning in the air, as infectious disease specialists had targeted these areas for several days, seeing a strange and unusual increase in both cases and other epidemiological burdens.
According to the MEGA report, what emerges as a conclusion from the tests that were carried out in the area and gives special emphasis is the over-transmission in these areas, where there are special cultural characteristics.
Therefore, in assessing the situation as it was, everyone on the committee agreed that additional measures should be taken, which were announced today.
What areas … follow
However, it is not only these areas that are at risk with strict measures.
For example, in the next few days it is expected to have news about Kozani and northern Greece in general.
Drama and Xanthi are also in “red”.
However, according to the MEGA report, in all these areas an attempt will be made to control the situation to avoid the strictest measures.
Total blockage in Aspropyrgos, Elefsina and Mandra
Previously, the Deputy Minister of Civil Protection, Nikos Hardalias, announced the tightening of the current total blockade by prohibition in the municipalities of Aspropyrgos, Elefsina and Mandra-Eidyllia due to the increase in the epidemiological burden.
The reason, as he said, is that “the situation in some areas of our country continues to be particularly difficult, since the viral load does not decrease, despite the measures we apply to control the spread.”
Thus, according to what you say from tomorrow, Friday, December 18, at 6 in the morning and for seven days, the following is decided:

As Mr. Hardalias said, the measures will take effect from tomorrow at 6:00 a.m. and for seven days, when the continuation or lifting of the specific measures is reevaluated.
