The possibility of its elimination is definitely ruled out emergency shutdown on November 30, according to infectious disease specialist Nikos Sypsas. The professor of the EKPA Athens School of Medicine clarified that the measures will be lifted when the coverage in the ICU is less than 60% -70%.
“There is already a leveling off in the number of cases. This flattening takes five days, so we are optimistic that we will see a downward trend. If the cases fall below a thousand, at least, and ideally 500, there will be a period of one to two weeks in which the pandemic will continue to produce intubation and unfortunately also victims. When this period is over, then we could talk about lifting measures. The only factor that will lead us to think about lifting measures is the health system, when there will not be so much pressure and ICU coverage will be below 60% -70%He told ANT1.
Sypsas says that on November 30 cases they will not have fallen.
«We must forget the date of November 30. Definitely, the cases will not have gone down either. We are talking about December now. How deep in December, how close we will be to the holidays, this is unknown. Numbers are limited to make it to the holidays and have some economic activity. This is a good scenario because the pandemic is unpredictable. We are on a plateau, we hope that the next step is down ”.
Until spring, he says, we will go with a continuous lockdown.
“The suffering we had in October will become a lesson for the next steps. Until spring the partial opening of society and the economy will be accompanied by new measures when necessary and we will go to what is called rolling lockdown, this is my personal opinion, so I think we will go until spring” make a note of.
