The message from the Prime Minister of Thessaloniki, that this year we should spend the holidays at home, at most with one more family, but also Professor Sypsa’s warning that the closure should be lifted on December 21, best describes how it will. Christmas and New Years.
Essentially, it all leads to the decision of restrictions that will last even after the holidays. That is, open possibly only primary schools, kindergartens and kindergartens (and this cannot be done), retail opening but with very strict conditions. Large shopping malls may not open.
And besides, it seems that there is no case to open restaurants, restaurants and bars during the holidays. In fact, it is considered certain that there will be some kind of traffic ban on those days to avoid overcrowding in the house. SMS can also be valid for that period to control the departure of citizens as long as it is certain that the borders of the prefectures will be closed and there will be no movement in the province.
Especially after the alarming increase in deaths and intubations yesterday, positive decisions are postponed.
The report by “Nea Savvatokyriakou” and Eleni Evangelodimou, describes the government’s thoughts, possible decisions, fears and plans for the next month.
According to the report: “You will see a mixed picture,” insisted government officials almost from the beginning of the fall quarantine, preparing citizens for nightmarish numbers of deaths, intubations and hospitalizations, despite the decline in cases. For Maximou it is not the only contradiction. The momentum of the pandemic and the battle for his opposition constantly put the Prime Minister’s Office in the face of “contradictory” thoughts.
The “plan b” drawer opens and closes week by week and original designs are turned over. Among them is the “most normal” – according to the Prime Minister’s initial expectations – for December and especially Christmas, which will eventually include tough measures, restrictions, fines, controls and (many) closed spaces. They will be accompanied, that is to say, by the dominant motto of last Easter: “We stay at home”. The “divided” and certainly slow government plan to lift the national blockade, as it is expected to be officially outlined by Kyriakos Mitsotakis within the new week, includes many “maybe” and even more “no” as well as the well-known ” social bubbles “in everything. as for the holidays. And December 7 may be a deadline for the opening of primary schools and kindergartens, but the government is also preparing for the gradual return after December 14 and thus for the “liberation” of part of the economy, literally on Christmas Eve.
The country’s contradiction
Regardless of the dates, in anticipation of the holidays and in general of a predetermined difficult winter, parameters such as psychological pressure on governance are “updated” due to their importance (and cause strong pressure on government manipulations). the market, suffocation in the Black “registry of the corona virus, the anxiety of tomorrow. It is another contradictory picture, say those in Mitsotakis’ office: reforms side by side: a banner of pre-election commitments, ambitious programs of economic reform, thoughts of allocating European funds to development actions, along with daily bulletins on human losses, pointers, controls, air traffic and even mobile field hospitals. Like what the Greek army had done in war-torn Kabul and now prepared for the “war” of the pandemic in Thessaloniki, where the prime minister had closed for today “autopsy” – express.
“Holidays with sacrifices”
Maximou acknowledges that he not only has another month ahead of contradictions, setbacks of plans and crises of his effectiveness, with the dominant challenge during the festive period. He is also concerned about the continuation of winter, and finally seeks a broader roadmap out of the nightmare until next spring. Hence, he advocates the lifting of the bans with the dropper and the strengthening of the message “celebrations with love and sacrifice.” Sources agree that the prime minister’s staff “exorcises” a third lockdown in the winter, effectively showing concern about the difficult reversible and catastrophic effects of any “opening and closing” (the so-called “accordion”, according to the newspaper cliché) . 
“If we reopen and find ourselves in the same situation at the beginning of January, we will have put a hole in the water,” is the Prime Minister’s reasoning. The European Center for Disease Control (ECDC) warnings to governments that took restrictive measures in October or November also point to a policy of conservative openness. A summary of the ECDC campaign is as follows: the lift on December 7 may result in a consequent increase in hospitalizations before December 24 and the lift on December 21 will see an increase in imports no later than the first week of January 2021. Pressure on their economies In front of all European countries, as widely discussed in a conference call of leaders, when Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced a “gradual and very careful” opening.
The many “no”
All of this indicates deep concern in the government and scientists as a whole for winter conditions and not just for the fringes of Christmas. The many “no” that are whispered in closed consultations in Maximou, however, show a celebration like Easter. It seems that a network with closed churches for the faithful is already being closed, as was the case last April, sweeping controls at tolls and central arteries to avoid gatherings in the homes of family and friends. In this direction, everything shows that the movement from prefecture to prefecture will not be allowed, the meetings in the houses will not be “liberated” (with a ceiling of seven – nine people in the meetings), the places of worship will not be opened, no New Years Eve will be allowed, there will be no ski resorts or nightclubs, and nightclubs will not be liberalized, whether or not the restaurant and all shops are open.
The great reef
Especially for the latter, that is, keeping the curfew at night, the Prime Minister’s usual interlocutors seem to coincide, something that does not happen with everything, such as catering. There are different suggestions, others “generous” to open restaurants and cafes with at least five rules (only seated customers, up to four per table, always with a mask, no music, part time) and others very cautious for December with a closed approach and upload Rollos after the New Year. It is the largest reef of which everything indicates that it will be re-examined in detail after December 10, based on the latest data and expert recommendations. And surely the opening hours of the stores will influence the decisions for when the night traffic ban will begin. 
And the “maybe”
Respectively, many in the government prefer long time SMS travel stay. It is one of the main “maybe” in the business plan, without excluding, according to information, the application of the measure only on the most critical days of the festive season, such as Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, from the opening of the retail in the second fortnight. month marks the abolition of SMS. The “maybe” list includes, among other things, the normal operation of large shopping malls before the holidays, with relevant executives considering possible rule combinations, however, with the intention of prioritizing seasonal stores. , dating services (such as hairdressers), and small retail businesses.
