How to gradually open the country – What are the proposals of infectious disease specialists in government?
Attitude of “waiting” with respect to opening of the economy and various social activities, argue both the Government and the Infectious Diseases Committee during this period, in order to clarify in the next ten days the “footprint” left by the relaxation of mobility during the holidays.
Already, according to EODY data, a relative increase in viral load has been observed throughout the territory and with a focus on Athens, which is due to the relative relaxation in the previous weeks in measures to curb the coronavirus , both by the click away method, and by the opening of churches, bookstores and hairdressers, while family gatherings around festive tables seem to have played a decisive role in this. It is characteristic that active cases throughout Attica reach t2,215, with 468 registered in the center of Athens.
The concern of both the government and epidemiologists lies in the fact that the “decline” of viral loads it is done at a very slow pace which is evidenced by the fact that despite the country’s two-month blockade, there is a “resurgence” in various areas. This fact in combination with the small increase that has been observed in the last ten days has contributed to Reluctant and very careful opening of the country, by the government, which has so far made decisions only for the lower levels of schools.
For the above reasons, the government and specialists in infectious diseases do not want to jeopardize the “good image”, despite the greater mobility of the days, which present epidemiological figures. As it has become clear the opening of the country should be done gradually and with firm steps, which justifies the decision to close the click and the opening of schools (primary and kindergartens) to be able to properly monitor and control the situation. After all, both Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and government officials have said in the past that schools will be the first to reopen.
As the “cube” for the opening of schools was launched on January 11, now on the “table” are proposals for the resumption of other social and economic activities that have been “frozen” for at least two months. With “proven” retail operation over the holidays the turn seems to take focus It has hit as hard as any other industry in recent months. For this reason and based on current epidemiological data, infectious disease specialists They have proposed to the government the opening of the restaurant in mid-March and specifically on Carnival Monday.
The proposal for the focus, although it has not been “blocked”, since everything depends on the data of the next days, It certainly shows, however, a horizon from which the general openness of the country is expected to move.. In addition, the choice of stricter measures always remains on the “table” in areas that will show an “explosion” of cases in the coming days, due to holidays, as had happened in the previous period with Aspropyrgos and Kalymnos.
