Looking at the data collected by ΕΟΔΥ for coronavirus cases Experts and the government have turned to the territory to decide the next steps in the “battle” with the coronavirus.
Although the data of the last days is encouraging, experts examine the data based on several parameters and not just numerical.
“Last week’s controls were intensified for tourists and therefore positive cases increased. There seems to be a stabilization of the upward attitude. We are looking forward to the fall when it is cold, there will be the next wine tasting to see if further action should be taken “ characteristically said to TOPIC 104.6 the Athanasios Tsakris, Professor of Microbiology at the University of Athens and member of the Expert Committee of the Ministry of Health.
“I think, as the situation is, the epidemic is stable, they could start normally in September 7th. “But there must be a package of measures so that, in addition to wearing a mask, other measures help significantly.” added Mr. Tsakris.
The first tough bet for fall is opening of schools with the Minister of the Interior Taki Theodorikako declare to TOPIC 104.6 that the results of the tender carried out by KEDE for the granting of the grant will probably be announced tomorrow, Tuesday free skins for all students and teachers.
As he said “They are reusable cloth masks. The competition is held at auction. It was no coincidence that we decided to give the money to KEDE.”
“We paint it without a mask” said the professor and member of the committee Charalambos Gogos.
In any case, the first week of September will play a decisive role in the decision to open the Elementary and Secondary Schools, which will eventually be postponed to September 14 and not 9/7, as originally announced. Details will be announced on Tuesday by the Ministries of Education, Interior and the Central Union of Greek Municipalities.
Regarding your script operation of schools in morning and afternoon shifts, has been rejected by the Ministry of Education, because of the costs (estimated daily cost of 10 million euros) but also because of the problem it would pose for many working parents. Thus, although it is proposed to create sufficient distances between students in the classroom, it is not scientifically proven that the creation of more classes offers any benefit. In contrast, epidemiological models show that the more possible outbreaks we create, the greater the chances. uncontrolled spread of the virus.
At the same time, ELAS decided duplication of controls to identify those who can break the quarantine, remembering that in case of infringement not only the fine is 5,000 euros, but the offender can also face criminal responsibility, up to three years in prison.
So far, an estimated 9,600 people (cases and their contacts) are in quarantine in Greece, who have declared to ELAS the address of their residence in order to control them.
What will happen to the focus?
the opening of schools and the sampling controls that the EODY will carry out in the educational structures, but also the restrictive measures in the areas of epidemiological burden will determine and what will be born with restaurants and discos the rest of the fall.
“If there is an influx of cases, then we will recommend the implementation of restrictive measures in restaurants and entertainment venues again at the local level. We are not going to go into a horizontal blockade like that of the first wave of the epidemic. “says in “TOPIC“Sir. Sypsas and clarifies that “a generalized closure in catering and purchases in general would only be decided if it were the last resort to keep schools open.” “We would shut down everything else first to protect the schools and keep them running safely.”
What will happen to the masks?
The epidemiological burden of the first ten days of September will determine what will happen with use of the maskς. “There is a strong recommendation at this time for the use of the mask, where there are many people, even when they are open spaces, and where distances cannot be observed”recalls the member of the Committee of Experts.
Wearing a mask is required for both employees and the public in public services and private companies with public service, places of worship, supermarkets and grocery stores, public transport and taxis, hospitals, clinics and diagnostic centers, shops, pharmacies, hairdressers, sensory centers and gyms , elevators and any other interior space.
