Why Local Locks Cannot Be Enforced In Attica – How Areas Are “Blushed”
Greece is on alert due to the deadly pandemic. More and more areas “blush” cases are constantly increasing. Experts express their fears as the government constantly consults with scientists, thinking about what steps should be taken to stop the spread of the virus.
In recent days we have heard that at the government-scientific consultation table there was the possibility of emergency shutdown in various areas of Attica, where more cases were treated.
As the spokesman for the General Secretariat for Civil Protection, Spyros Georgiou, explains to newsbeast.gr, this scenario could not be implemented as it is practically impossible.
“The measures in Attica, as the activities of citizens are structured, as well as movements, cannot acquire a local character in the local parts of the region,” he states and explains:The human geography and not only of the metropolitan municipalities, therefore of Attica, does not allow the taking of vertical measurements by municipality».
“The concept of taking local action in metropolitan areas applies to larger spatial planning units like regions,” said Spyros Georgiou, adding: “As the Deputy Minister for Civil Protection and Crisis Management explained, Nikos Hardalias would not have any what which means the imposition of stricter restrictive measures in the restaurants of a municipality when citizens can move to other municipalities ”.
Why local closures in the province are effective
Blocking is a multifactorial decision. «The local lockdown applies to areas that, in addition to a higher number of cases, may have a high prevalence of the virus in the community. That is, confirmed cases may have come into contact with many people.
Local restrictive measures are also applied in areas where there are older people, that is, people who belong to a vulnerable group and are at higher risk. “There is a specific protocol that is implemented and it is said to work,” said his spokesman. General Secretariat of Civil Protection.
How areas “blush”
The areas are “colored” after first analyzing specific data.
Epidemiologists constantly analyze, as explained by the spokesman for the General Secretariat for Civil Protection, epidemiological data by region for the entire Territory. The color of the areas changes when there is an epidemiological outbreak, which in some cases is especially aggressive.
The Charter for Health Safety and Protection against Covid-19 infection includes four levels of precautionary measures and rules for each regional unit of the country, and includes the 74 regional units of Greece in levels of safety and health protection with the corresponding packages that apply to all.
More specifically, regional units are included in the following levels: Level 1 – Preparedness, Level 2 – Vigilance, Level 3 – Increased vigilance, and Level 4 – Increased risk.
“The determination of the level of risk in each area depends on the increasing or decreasing trend of the epidemiological variables, such as the number of cases per 100,000 inhabitants, the indicators of completeness of the health system (eg, single beds used and beds of Intensive Care Units) and the epidemiological situation of each region, as reflected in the tracking data but also in the correlation of the cases and their contacts. 17 criteria are analyzed and evaluated daily to determine the level of alarm in each zone ”, indicates the General Secretariat of Civil Protection.
