The country will revive the quarantine days in about 24 hours, since according to all the information, the government welcomed the suggestions of infectious disease specialists and made the decision to impose a blockade across the country on Wednesday afternoon. The Minister of Health, Vassilis Kikilias, said that the confinement will last one month, while according to other information, the duration will be shorter, from two to three weeks. In any case, millions of people who need to move will have to send sms.
This is a decision that has caused a stir in the world and the reactions of the opposition parties are forceful, accusing the government of failing in its policy of shielding the health system in time and limiting the spread of the virus.
On Thursday noon, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is expected to make announcements on the issue along with Professor Sotiris Tsiodras, who will then answer questions, giving more details about the new landscape the country is entering following the registration of cases and intubations. they reached 2,646 and 179 respectively.
However, parents are very concerned about what will happen to the schools, as the information on whether or not they will be open remains unclear. It should be noted that the Associate Professor of Epidemiology – Preventive Medicine, Dimitris Paraskevi, who is a member of the Committee of Specialists of the Ministry of Health, said that the Committee recommended that only elementary schools be left open to minimize the possibility of spreading the virus to children. students. There will be a distance education regime in secondary schools and lyceums. What will finally apply will be known to the Prime Minister in a few hours.
According to the information, the suggestion to impose a blockade on the country was made to stop the aggressive spread of the virus, mainly in northern Greece, and to stop the flow of patients to the ICU, leading to the collapse of the healthcare system. with mathematical precision.
Kikilias: The confinement is a month
As Health Minister Vassilis Kikilias, speaking with ANT1, the Prime Minister and the government accepted the relevant suggestion of infectious disease specialists and tomorrow at noon the Prime Minister will make further announcements together with Professor Sotiris Tsiodras.
He added that the confinement will last a month. He noted that the suggestion of infectious disease specialists is to close secondary schools and lyceums across the country and keep primary schools, kindergartens and kindergartens open.
However, it is still unclear what the prime minister will decide about secondary schools, that is, whether they will remain open as is currently the case in Thessaloniki and Serres, which are already locked up.
Kerameans: Our intention is for schools to remain open
“Our intention is that the schools remain open, systematically listening to the instructions of the specialists,” said Education Minister Niki Kerameos, in statements to MEGA.
The closure of schools in gray areas, such as Thessaloniki and Serres, was a precautionary measure proposed by the commission, since “international studies show that the larger the population, the more it becomes involved in the pandemic.”
Niki Kerameos noted that the e-learning system is ready to go in the event of a decision to close schools.
The background of the decision
After the general closure proposal made by government epidemiologists, another suggestion that fell on the table spoke of a “lock” only in Attica, for at least 15 days. That is, reinstatement of the SMS travel and traffic ban, closure and other business. The background of the decisions was dramatic. The meeting that took place early in the afternoon had as its main topic of discussion the proposal for a generalized closure throughout the country. However, in an effort not to hurt the economy, the proposal to shut down only Attica fell on the table.
Final decisions on where and when the shutdown will be implemented will be made by the Prime Minister in the next few hours. The information indicates that he left the teleconference earlier and spoke with other scientists and institutions abroad.
Government sources said in the late afternoon: “In recent days, despite the measures, there has been an exponential increase in cases throughout the country. This is a red flag because there will be more pressure on the health system. Therefore, as in the previous phase, the necessary measures must be taken to stop the pandemic. We can’t wait for the problem to come. The situation is evaluated daily. The measures are under study and will be announced by the Prime Minister following the suggestions of the experts ”.
“Bell” for the ICU
“Bell” for the National Health System and especially for the resistance of the UCI sounded today the president of POEDIN Michalis Giannakos. In particular, he stressed that there is a registry of patients admitted to the ICU for coronavirus.
In particular, he mentioned that 100 patients are being treated in the Attica ICU and 70 in Thessaloniki. He points out that ICU beds in Attica are dangerously full, saying that more and more coronavirus patients end up in hospitals that do not have ICUs.
“It is a pity that the beds are not ready, equipped, as in Sotiria (that is, the 35 that are donated by the Greek Parliament) due to lack of staff”, says Mr. Giannakos, emphasizing that general ICUs are few and full. According to the president of POEDIN, in fact, the transformations that were made leave intubated patients with diseases other than the ICU.
