The days of the blockade recall the list of measures imposed in any area that reaches “level 4” (“higher risk”) on the map presented in the periodic update of the Ministry of Health.

This is the stage where travel restrictions apply, universal use of the mask, but also school closures.

Specifically for school units, in particular, it is mentioned that “possible operation in rotation, in combination with tele-education or only tele-education” is envisaged. Beside, Enter a “lock” in retail, catering and entertainment, among others.

Scheduled surgeries will also be limited to 60% in hospitals, with the exception of oncology and emergencies.

It is recalled that the determination of the relative level of risk by region depends on the increasing or decreasing trend of epidemiological variables, such as the number of cases per 100,000 inhabitants, of the indicators of completeness of the health system, p. the individual beds or ICU beds used, as well as the qualitative characteristics of the epidemiological situation.

At the moment Attica, Achaia, Karditsa, Trikala, Ioannina, Kozani, Kastoria, Pella, Heraklion, Thira, Samos, Mytilene, and Zakynthos are at “level 3”.

Although government officials seem reassuring, the truth is that the areas mentioned are impressive, a “level 4” bug and therefore the general crash.

Six Finger “Bell”: A Delayed Block Is The Worst Case

The president of the Panhellenic Medical Association, Athanasios Exadaktylos, sounded the alarm of the need for faithful implementation of measures to reduce the coronavirus pandemic.

“We want society and the economy to be open,” he said. In the masks he stressed that their use is provided where there is congestion.

“I don’t see any reason for someone to wear a mask if they go out alone,” he told MEGA, adding that the results of the demonstration in front of the Court of Appeals for the Golden Dawn trial would be seen in about ten days.

Peaks for your observance

Regarding the protection measures, he explained that “they were taken on time and, if we had better enforcement, we could have a better result.”

Speaking of the scene of a new blockade, Mr. Exadaktylos clarified that this depends on how we behave.

“There is something worse than a lockdown. The delayed lockdown.” There are two problems there: the lockdown issues and the delay issues, which means a major health crisis. “
