The government is awaiting input from infectious disease specialists currently meeting to make final decisions on the next steps on the pandemic front.

The final decisions of the government at the suggestion of the Commission, will be announced in the afternoon, during the briefing of the Deputy Minister of Civil Protection, Nikos Hardalias.

For Attica, it appears that the traffic ban has been blocked as of 6pm on weekends. If that happens, stores and supermarkets will close on Saturday at 5pm.

According to the information, several infectious disease specialists insist on reexamining the way retail works, most likely eliminating purchases through the store by appointment (click inside). However, the problem of the schools has not been raised, despite repeated reports.

According to all indications, businesses and schools will continue to function as they do today, while the scenario of prohibition of movement from municipality to municipality in the basin is finally rejected. Also, there remains the problem of eliminating the inner click and only the click remains. However, no problem has arisen for the schools.

A tightening of the measures in Patras and Thessaloniki is also being considered, which seems to be in the red again. During the meeting yesterday (Thursday), the subcommittee of epidemiologists suggested raising the alarm level in red for Thessaloniki and Achaia.

The Secretary of Health Services, Giannis Kotsiopoulos, goes to Patras, which is in “red” with respect to the data of the epidemiological observation for the coronavirus.

Mr. Kotsiopoulos will visit the two hospitals in the city. He is accompanied by the President of EKAB / KEPY, Nikos Papaefstathiou, the Director of Medical Services of EKAB, Dimitris Pyrros and the members of the Expert Committee of the Ministry of Health, Charalambos Gogos and Theoklis Zaoutis.

According to the information, his visit to the two hospitals has to do with the preparation of the health system due to the increase in cases in the city.

Nikos Kapravelos, Director of the 2nd ICU of the Hospital “Papanikolaou”, requested the closure of schools of all levels from Monday through SKAI, in view of the Committee meeting, warning of an epidemiological outbreak in the opposite case.

For his part, Giorgos Pavlakis, physician-researcher, commented on our station that “at the moment, in terms of cases per million, Athens counts exactly the same as on October 26, just before the ‘explosions’ in Thessaloniki” . “Then there was a strict lockdown and Thessaloniki paid for it,” he said.
