The sub. Civil Protection Nikos Hardalias, was asked about the possibility of a generalized confinement. “If we follow the measures, there is no need for any blockade,” he said emphatically, and immediately afterwards was angry with some who may want to undermine the collective effort. “If some people try to undermine the national effort, then obviously we will go to the blockade, but we are still far from doing so,” Tsiodras said. At the same time, he criticized those who support demonstrations without protective measures.

It should be noted that shortly before the start of the information from the Ministry of Health, EODY announced 460 new cases of coronavirus in our country in the last 24 hours. According to the EODY announcement, 85 of our fellow citizens are treated by intubation, while we have 5 deaths are still recorded and 398 deaths in the country as a whole.

Gikas Majorkinis reported that 142 infections are related to known confluences, while 115 of them are located in a factory. The professor noted that 207 of these cases were detected in Attica.

Worldwide, the number of confirmed cases exceeds 34 million, of which 6 million are infections in Europe. The professor stressed that every day between 250,000 and 30,000 new cases are detected, but also between 4,000 and 5,000 deaths.

Upward trends in the coronavirus pandemic

Majorkinis noted that the epidemic shows upward trends in new cases in Greece, while the picture is similar in intubated patients, increasing pressure on the health system. The dynamics of the coronavirus epidemic are disproportionately distributed in the Attica region.

The professor stressed that the increase in new cases, but also in those intubated by the coronavirus, is slow, but not constant and follows fluctuations. However, he notes that the scenario of a rapid increase in coronavirus cases appears to have been removed.

On alert when the temperature drops

Majorkinis noted that the second wave of the coronavirus in the northern hemisphere is entering a period of increased transmissibility. This is because the temperature drops and the activity is transferred indoors. As he said, closed spaces and the increase in temperature in them make the transmission of the virus up to 10 times higher. Specifically, the adjunct professor pointed out that something like this is expected in our country from the end of October.

Gikas Majorkinis emphasized that two factors remain unbalanced to face the coronavirus pandemic. The first refers to asymptomatic patients and the second to the fact that transmission can occur in a large number of people.

Such an overdose can change the landscape of the coronavirus epidemic overnight. The professor reiterated that we must consider ourselves silent carriers of the epidemic and follow measures to limit the transmission of the virus.

Encouraging Studies on Coronavirus Treatment

Finally, the assistant professor at the EKPA referred to the first studies of monoclonal antibodies in patients with coronavirus. Majorkinis explained that when someone is infected with the virus, it takes time for the immune system to detect it and produce the appropriate antibodies.

Therefore, scientists provide patients with artificially prepared antibodies intravenously. The first signs are particularly encouraging, as a cocktail of monoclonal antibodies has been shown to accelerate the clearance of the virus from the respiratory system.

Hardals: Entrance gate restrictions extend until October 12

Nikos Hardalias announced the extension of restrictive measures due to the coronavirus at the entrance doors until October 12.

Commenting on the scenarios for new measures, Hardalias emphasized: “I hear people asking if we will take additional measures. The question is whether the measures we have taken are being followed.” The virus is attacking everyone, regardless of who they are and what they are old. “

“Compliance with the measures is not an obligation. We must learn to live with the virus and take precautions.” There is no other way to deal with it and winter is coming when things will be more difficult, “he added.

The last week shows a stabilization of the daily number of cases, said Nikos Hardalias, who highlighted that the spread remains younger at younger ages, with MO the age of the cases is 39 years.
