The government’s plan for the gradual opening of the market from the beginning of December was developed by the government representative, Stelios Petsas, speaking with SKAI and the TODAY program. As mentioned, the goal is in the first phase to open schools of all educational and retail levels, where there is no increase in the epidemiological burden and transmission, and then cafes and restaurants. However, he pointed out that it is extremely difficult to operate bars and nightclubs, due to the synchronicity observed in them.
“Yesterday was the first day that a flattening of the curve was seen and we hope that it will continue today and tomorrow, and if that happens we expect a rapid drop in cases, because at the beginning of the closure we had the burden of the epidemiological burden of the last weeks” , said. Mr. Petsas. He added that after the weekend a vertical drop in cases is expected compared to the levels we are at today and in this context the government will soon evaluate the situation to develop a plan to lift the restrictions imposed, “gradually if necessary. “.
Although he did not rule out the possibility of more closings, the government spokesman said that what matters is how the market will open from December 1. “Schools have a low epidemiological burden and will be in the first wave of activities to open, as well as retail which has not shown much to do with the increase in overtime, while catering and health stores will be coming to an end. “If this is gradual and how long it will take from one phase to another, we will see it and announce it in time,” he said, while ruling out the possibility of a horizontal opening.
In particular, for catering, Mr. Petsas stressed that “restaurants and cafes are in our plan to open Christmas with rules and hours.” Where there is presence and attendance, it is difficult to open bars and discos.
Regarding the vaccine, he stressed that from the end of the year it will be available from 2021 and by the end of the second quarter of 2021 the entire population can be vaccinated. “The leadership will be to do it whoever wants,” he added, but said that a large part of the population needed to be vaccinated to build immunity.
Regarding the events that occurred yesterday during the celebration of the Polytechnic, he affirmed that the government’s planning was absolutely successful. “I want to salute the maturity of the citizens, because they turned their backs on those who spoke in the previous days about the deviation, about the meeting, about the unconstitutionality that could push thousands of people to the streets. Society has left behind the political parties, which invited these types of gatherings and I want to remind you that in the July 2019 elections all these parties, SYRIZA, the KKE, MERA25 received 2.3 million votes. “When you speak with such harsh expressions about a parliamentary democracy like the current one, the situation could easily deviate,” said the government spokesman.
