Rage Hardalia for “spoilers of the national effort” – “If we follow the measures, no blockade is needed” | HELLAS

The undersecretary of Civil Protection, Nikos Hardalias, reacted angrily when asked about the possibility of a generalized confinement.

“If we follow the measures, there is no need for a lockdown,” he said emphatically, and immediately afterward seemed angry with some who would want to undermine the collective effort. “If some people try to undermine the national effort, then obviously we will go to a lockdown, but we are still far from a lockdown,” said Hardalias. At the same time, he criticized those who support demonstrations without protective measures.

It is observed that for the second time in a few weeks a factory becomes a coronavirus outbreak, detecting cases in dozens of workers. After the cannery in Giannitsa that caused concern in early September, a second cannery, this time in Skydra, came to the fore, as 114 cases were identified.

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.

207 new cases of coronavirus in Attica

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 34,000,000, of which 6,000,000 infections are in Europe. The professor stressed that every day between 250,000 and 300,000 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 highlighted that two factors remain unbalanced in the treatment of the coronavirus pandemic. The first concerns asymptomatic patients and the second in the fact that transmission can take place in Large number people.

One such over-transmission It can change the picture 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.

Hardalias: The situation is extremely critical in Pella

The Deputy Minister of Civil Protection and Crisis Management, Nikos Hardalias, called on the residents of Pella to take special care in complying with the measures, especially in the coming days, and to follow the instructions of the experts. He even made it clear that the situation is extremely critical.

Reporting on the 114 cases that were identified today at a cannery at Mavrovouni Skydra in Pella, Mr Hardalias said the company’s operation was suspended.

There is also an intense epidemiological burden in Kythnos, said Mr. Hardalias, who as of this morning is under special restrictive measures. In particular, he stated that the operation of all health interest stores is prohibited from 24:00 to 05:00, any event is suspended, any type of meeting of citizens older than 9 people is prohibited, a number is allowed in the dining rooms Maximum number of people at each table of 4 people, unless they are first-degree relatives where up to 6 people are allowed and finally the use of a mask is mandatory both outdoors and indoors throughout the island.
