Kyriakos Mitsotakis will announce new measures and strict restrictions today to deal with the coronavirus pandemic.

Today Mitsotakis decides the measures – Which sectors will be affected

Mr. Mitsotakis will make the final decisions this morning on the range of measures to be implemented throughout the country, weighing the final recommendation of the infectious diseases committee, which took last night, what was discussed at the extraordinary summit on the coronavirus. teleconferences and the impact they will have on the budget.

Nikos Hardalias came up with the idea of ​​the sectors that will be “quarantined”, stating yesterday that “there is a great correlation and connection of cases with entertainment, sports activities, but also massive social gatherings and other types”.

The measures will go a long way toward reducing these virus outbreaks. The information indicates that infectious disease specialists suggest the closure of restaurants and all health stores at 9:00 p.m. or 10:00 p.m., while according to sources, the scenario for a generalized closure of this sector has been examined. In any case, it is planned to extend the traffic ban to the orange and red zones, which will depend on the closure of the restaurant.

Prime Minister also announces support measures

According to information, the prime minister will not only announce the restrictive measures in his televised message, but will also refer to the financial support of those affected by them. Yesterday, Mr. Mitsotakis had a meeting with Professor Sotiris Tsiodras and the Vice Minister of Citizen Protection, while later he met with the Minister of Health. He also maintained contacts with the financial staff to be informed about the financial implications of the measures and the margins that exist for the strengthening of the specific branches.

Mask across the country – What will happen to the inter-prefectural travel ban?

A proposal has been put on the table to prohibit travel between neighboring counties after 9:00 p.m., in order to avoid “nightlife tourism”, since moving to entertainment in neighboring municipalities with less restrictive measures due to The lower epidemiological burden has led to the spread of the virus to many regions, the most characteristic of which is Serres. However, this possibility seems to have been eliminated as the night traffic ban also covers these movements.

The decision of the mandatory use of a mask everywhere, indoors and outdoors throughout the territory, regardless of the color on the epidemiological map and the increase in teleworking where possible, is considered a fact.

Fear of 2,000 cases a day in the coming days

The vertical explosion of cases makes the measures inevitable and their strict implementation necessary. Their numbers are expected to fluctuate to very high levels in the coming days, reaching perhaps 2,000 cases today. Yesterday, with only 12,963 tests, the cases were 1,211, while on Monday the corresponding number of tests, which is very low, yielded 715 cases. This means that the positivity rate is increasing, which worries experts. The European Center for Disease Control (ECDC) gives a limit of 4%, that is, a series of positive tests as a percentage of the total carried out and Sotiris Tsiodras said on Tuesday that Greece is already at 4.4%.
