The improvement that has been shown though is expected to go through a great “test” due to the holidays as traffic is expected to increase considerably, both due to the hesitant opening of the market and the opening of churches.
Also characteristic is relevant research from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, which indicates that if strict measures are not observed, there will be a large increase in infections.
As noted, the reduction in cases observed in recent days can turn into an increase in infections, especially after the new lifting of restrictive measures, as shown by the results and forecasts of the Nanotechnology Laboratory, approaching the holidays.
«If we continue with the lockdown measures, after January 15 we would have practically few or no infections.. The holidays, however, bring to the citizens a relaxation in the observance of the protection measures and in the government the anxiety of looking for a way to improve the economic situation and give an injection to the market. These two reasons are particularly alarming for the multiplication of infections and cases. Thus, it is true that if the measures for the movement and protection of citizens in the coming weeks are not followed very strictly we will have a dramatic deterioration of cases, the size of which will depend on the degree of relaxation of the citizens, the rigor of police controls and the number and scope of the measures that the government will take”, Explains the head of the Laboratory, Professor Stergios Logothetidis.
As pointed out by the research team of the AUTh Nanotechnology Laboratory “In terms of infections or cases, they showed their maximum round since November 16, while their reduction continues until now in Greece and Thessaloniki, which had extremely high viral loads in early November. Respectively, the greatest pressure on ICUs and the entire healthcare system was observed in late November and early December, while the peak number of victims of the pandemic occurred about a week later, and we all wish that these difficult days would not come back. enormous pressure on the health system and ICUs».
«Scientists evaluate, analyze and predict with their studies, but the decisions, for the opening of the market and schools, or the movements and the degree of supervision or relaxation of the measures are taken only by the State. The crucial thing for the entire Christmas season is to respectfully observe all measures against coronavirus, especially in closed areas and busy streets, to limit unnecessary movements but also their duration and stay indoors, and to avoid travel through the county and for citizens to wear the best possible quality masks on each of their outings, in order to reduce“Explains Professor Stergios Logothetidis.
