It is characteristic that of 5,000 cases situated in Attica since the beginning of the pandemic, 1/3 in September and in EODY’s announcement yesterday, more than half of the cases were identified in the capital.
In fact, it is expected to be announced today. new package for Attica in order to contain the pandemic.
The compilation of the new list was requested by the infectious diseases committee Kyriakos Mitsotakis as a result, it was delivered to the Palace of the Maxima on Monday night.
According to the information, the measures that the committee will propose to the Prime Minister may be: local lock (ss. municipalities), the maximum number of people per table in the premises Attention without exceeding four individuals, the social events, such as weddings, baptisms, funerals, to get hold of less people From today.
Also, closure of large concert halls.
The presentation will focus on your center Athens and possibly other areas of Attica with strong epidemiological load.
The information speaks of a mandatory use of the mask in all interiors.
Others want the application of the measure to be extended to external places.
Among other things, it is also considered more reduce the number of people at rallies but also in the seats of the tables of the restaurants, as well as in the schedules of the public and private sectors.
According to your information CNN Greece, is being seriously considered possibility Be adopted Pore model he Imathia.
The fear for now is that the measures taken have not met the expected profitability.
It is recalled that the opening of the schools was postponed to September 14, in order to have accomplished a relative recession in the epidemic, which does not appear to have happened.
Sypsas: Measurements are horizontal
According to Professor of Infectious Diseases and Committee member Nikos Sypsata, the restrictive measures to be announced today to reduce the coronavirus pandemic are horizontal., that is, they will affect the whole of Attica and not in specific municipalities.
As pointed out Professor of Infectious Diseases Speaking to SKAI on Tuesday morning, the measures suggested by Commission in State they have nothing to do with the number of cases or the Ro index, which remains below 1, around 0.89.
“There are certain things that lead us to the new measures quality features of the epidemic in Attica, such as the number of intubations, the number of hospitalizations, the large population and the population density. We must protect schools in advance. It is not a generalized blockade, but rather restrictive measures that concern all of Attica, horizontally throughout Attica, ”Sypsas said, adding that they are expected to be applied until the end of the month and until there is a decrease in the number of cases.
Kikilias: ready for local lockdown in Attica
What Vassilis Kikilias said at the Open is typical:
“Let me remind you that Attica includes 5 million people, it is half of Greece. It is obvious that we cannot think of taking such unwise horizontal measures for the entire Attica region. Epidemiologically, EODY and our scientists analyze the data and Civil Protection comes and implements more local measures depending on the point where there is an outbreak. So, I see that this picture is scientifically forming little by little, so that we can intervene more locally, at the municipal level, with horizontal measures or with some specific measures to eventually reduce a local influx or an outbreak ”.
The question is how local closures can be made in an area like Attica, which despite its enormous size, constitutes a single whole.
the final decisions, which will be taken by Mr. Mitsotakis possibly to be announced he Tuesday.
Concerns: ICUs are on the rise
In Greece the outbreak of cases continues, but without reaching uncontrollable situations like Israel.
Specifically, EODY announced this Monday 180 new cases of coronavirus.
The number is less of the previous days, but we must not forget that always on Mondays the cases registered are less because on weekends it is fewer tests.
But it is worrying:
-The 5 deaths in 24 hours (310 in total).
-The continuous increase in ICU patients who reached 59.
-The large concentration of cases in Attica, where 102 out of 180 cases were registered.
