The professor already expressed his concern about the situation both in the city and in the prefecture of Thessaloniki this morning. Sotiris Tsiodras at the meeting she had with him on Monday morning Kyriako Mitsotaki and other specialists from the Maximos Palace.
It is estimated that there are two main parameters that changed the situation in Thessaloniki, so a few days ago, experts said that it had managed to tame the spread of the coronavirus, unlike Athens. The first parameter is that not enough tests were done, since in its periphery Central macedonia there are major outbreaks where the burden of controls and tracing has decreased. The second important parameter is the return to the city of thousands of students: the district has about 150,000 active students, most of whom live and study in Thessaloniki. The local economy, as the Thessaloniki agents used to say “can’t stand»The loss of students, whom he seeks at all costs to keep in the city. However, the roughly 120,000 students meet in the same meeting places, are in the same locations, and it’s hard not to sync. Furthermore, tens of thousands of students have returned to Thessaloniki from almost all over the country and from areas with a higher epidemiological burden, but also difficult to trace.
As Mr. Tsiodras said in the morning meeting, based on the data, in addition to the assessment of the evolution of the pandemic in areas that are already in the highest surveillance zone, it was found that they are starting and some increasing trends are observed in the Thessaloniki area, which is now at alert level 2, that of surveillance.
For this reason, shortly before seven in the afternoon, the Prime Minister will have a teleconference with the Regional Governor of Central Macedonia, Apostle Tzitzikosta and the mayor of Thessaloniki, Constantino Zerva discuss the application of sanitary standards. The meeting is expected to make a full assessment of the situation, while the Vice Minister of Civil Protection, Nikos Hardalia, is expected to make a suggestion on the measures and their implementation.

For his part, the Undersecretary of the Interior Theodoros Karaoglou, as reported by grtimes.gr, it did not hide its concern about the increase in coronavirus cases, but also about the congestion images registered in recent days. As you said, the images were projected outside Aristotle University, were to a lesser extent than the dimensions that showed it, they are definitely a problem, as well as the images recorded in Aristotle Square or in other places.
“We must all respect public health which is the highest good, observe basic precautions, wear the mask as much as possible indoors and outdoors. “Beyond that, we must discipline ourselves and impose the self-control necessary to face the coronavirus pandemic.”said Mr. Karaoglou.
“I want to believe that if we do what we have to do we will avoid a local lockdown, which will have huge consequences for the local economy.”, then he said, adding that it is known where it is imposed “Obviously there are big problems, like in Kozani, in northern Greece.”
As the government spokesman said at the political authors briefing Stelios Petsas “The epidemiological picture in some Attica neighborhoods, but also in the Kastoria, Ioannina and Thessaloniki Regional Units, is in orange. And this indicates in the strongest terms that complacency is not allowed. On the contrary, everyone is obliged to adhere to the measures suggested by the experts and promulgated by the State. “
The Peripheral Unit of Thessaloniki returns to the center of attention after several weeks of absence, as it registers a stable two-digit number in October coronavirus cases. Active cases in Thessaloniki have exceeded 315. At least 280 people are in isolation and 34 in hospitals. The difficult situation is confirmed by data from Neapolis-Sykeon Township where the last hours have been recorded so far 24 cases of coronavirus.
As the mayor of Neapolis-Sykea said Simos Daniilidis The cases in the municipality are not limited to schools and gymnasiums, but there is a spread of the disease in cultural centers, KDAP and municipal services, while it is estimated that a large number has not been notified to the municipality, since there is no obligation that schools and other structures report immediately Local government.
Furthermore, Mr. Daniilidis pointed out another worrying element that should put the whole of society on “alarm”: In the municipality of Neapolis – Sykeon “The myth that the coronavirus affects the elderly is dispelled”As 6-year-old students tested positive for the coronavirus, while young athletes, including martial arts champions, also became infected.
