The assessment that the market may open in mid-March and that this Easter will have nothing to do with last year’s was expressed by the Deputy Minister of the Interior, Stelios Petsas, in statements to SKAI and the KALIMERA show.
As he said, “We are near the end of an unprecedented drama. I think that if we continue with our vaccination schedule, which is accelerating a lot as of March 15 and April will be a month of mass vaccinations, Easter will be much better. We will see how normal it will be in the course, but surely it will have nothing to do with the closed situation we experienced last year ”.
Asked about the rumors in the last hours that the prime minister wants the market to open at all costs on March 16, he pointed out that Kyriakos Mitsotakis is very close to the market, but that does not mean that it will open without security measures.
“Even now we see a very high movement, while the market is closed. The next two weeks are crucial for us to release the epidemiological burden to open up the market. I think the next 10 days as various areas now have enough cases will create a climate that will be contrary to the complacency we saw in the previous period and the cases will be picked up. So mid-March is a very important milestone and we must not miss it. We estimate that the market will be able to open in March ”, emphasized Mr. Petsas.
Regarding the vaccination certificate, he pointed out that “we are at a stage in which the Prime Minister’s proposal is accepted and we will soon have good results.” As he explained, when the pandemic began last year, there was a debate even then whether someone could come to the country for tourist reasons with a certificate, that is, having passed a test and being negative, adding that now things are much more mature. in E .Ε. to present the vaccination certificate.
“More than 25 million European citizens have been vaccinated and in a few months they will have reached 50-60 million. Why not have such a large group of people who can travel in relative safety and in an area as important as accommodation, restaurants and tourism? start breathing at least from spring onwards? In other words, to be able to have safe mobility in Europe and that everyone benefits from it ”, concluded the Deputy Minister of the Interior.
