Christmas this year will be different in every way, as the coronavirus has brought ups and downs in our lives and the holidays cannot be an exception.
Christmas will remember Easter, which was celebrated during the first confinement, with restrictive measures, a curfew and festive tables in a very close family circle.
However, the government and the experts did not exhaust their rigor, obviously due to the fatigue accumulated in society by the restrictive measures, but also the need for the economy not to return to plaster.
Thus, despite the fact that the second wave has proven to be much more powerful and deadly than the first, Christmas and New Year this year will be celebrated with strict measures, in the part of meetings and trips, and New Year’s Eve will be allowed with the presence of 9 people at noon or otherwise at night with.
Specifically, as has been known for several days by government officials, but also by the Prime Minister himself, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, this year there must be up to nine people on New Year’s Eve, made up of two families and our trips will be made by sending SMS . in 13033 and code “6”, while the traffic ban will be in effect from 22:00 in the afternoon until 05:00 in the morning.
At the same time, the police will take to the streets to … strict controls on compliance with the protection measures against the coronavirus, while in reality the compliance or not of citizens at Christmas will be a “trial” and will largely determine measure the measures to be implemented in the New Year.
As clarified by the Deputy Minister of Civil Protection, Nikos Hardalias, in the official information on the evolution of the pandemic, the possibility of imposing stricter measures on New Year’s Eve is open.
“Yes” he succinctly replied, leaving no room for misinterpretation to the question of whether there is a case to tighten the measures on New Year’s Eve in case of disobedience and consequently dangerous for the transmission of the virus.
“It would be ideal to celebrate with our family”
EKPA Medical School Adjunct Professor and Expert Committee member Gikas Majorkinis again gave instructions for safe family tables during the official briefing on the course of the pandemic.
Mr. Majorkinis reiterated that “the ideal would be to celebrate only with our family and avoid meeting different homes.”
However, as he said “if we meet another family, the ideal would be to do the same in all circumstances, in order to maintain the so-called social” bubble “during the holidays.
He went on to describe the rules that must be followed for the safe celebration of Christmas, highlighting, among other things, that: “if we have symptoms similar to those of the pandemic, we do not participate in New Year’s Eve, we wear masks whenever possible and avoid kissing. – Hugs”. ».
The rules for a safe Christmas table
- First, if we have symptoms of not participating at all, wear masks whenever possible. For example, for grandparents, we go with a mask and mainly avoid hugs and kisses.
- Keep a small number of people in any meeting. Get together with the same people every holiday to create a social “bubble.”
- Always maintain hygiene standards and have very good ventilation of the space or be outdoors.
The final police plan
As it has been known for days, the next few days are especially critical for the epidemiological panorama of the country and experts are concerned about whether the New Year’s Eve trips could favor the spread of the virus.
This is the reason why the police stand up to comply with the measures.
La Estrella presented the definitive plan of the Police, in order to strictly observe the measures during the holidays. On Christmas Eve and today, the police will carry out strict controls in all the central axes of Athens, as well as in the smaller streets to… come on, let’s go on New Years Eve.
In fact, the emphasis will be on the neighborhoods of the Northern Suburbs where, according to EODY data, an increase in cases has been observed in recent days.
Those who faithfully follow the rules and go to lunch on New Years Eve with another family will use the code “6”. 
Those who want to take a walk to Syntagma, within reasonable limits and without overcrowding, will be able to do so but only until 6pm.
Strict controls on tolls for New Year’s Eve movements
The controls at the Afidnes and Elefsina tolls will be exhaustive while the police forces will be deployed in the return flow.
Then those who happen to have found a trick for Christmas in the village will be fined with great force.
A “knife” is examined for the nine people on New Year’s Eve
In fact, according to MEGA, in case of disorder in the measurements, the next measure is to abolish the number “nine” and that we all have a New Years Eve party ourselves.
In fact, in this context, the statements of Nikos Hardalias during today’s briefing were moved, who when asked if there is a case for toughening the measures, responded succinctly, simply saying “yes”.
The epidemiological data from the first days of the year will determine if we will have a relaxation of the measures after January 7, extension of the closure or restrictions on a case-by-case basis at the local level.
Today, the government, through Mr. Hardalias, stressed that the social contact days are critical and, if we are not careful, new measures will be announced for the New Year.
