A “bomb” statement for the deaths in Greece from the coronavirus was made by the professor of microbiology, director of the EKPA microbiology laboratory Athanasios Tsakris.
According to this forecast for Greece, with the measures currently in place, around 4,000 coronavirus deaths are expected in Greece by February 1, 2021.
If more drastic measures are taken and the use of the mask becomes widespread, the death toll will be much lower, around 3,000.
However, if there is a total relaxation of the measures from now on, then, according to the University’s forecast, the death toll reaches a staggering 14,000.
Speaking to SKAI, the professor spoke about the effects of implementing measures to stop the coronavirus pandemic on public health and highlighted a study from the University of Washington in Seattle.
New measures on the table
Mr. Tsakris emphasized that Greece is now entering the true epidemic wave, as the climatic conditions change and the situation becomes very difficult.
“All predictions are that we will have a further increase (of cases) if the measures we have taken do not work effectively or if no other measures are taken, which is very likely, the whole of Europe is moving in this context.”
He also stressed that the Infectious Diseases Committee will likely propose some additional measures in the coming days and beyond that the government will decide taking into account economic and social parameters.
According to Mr. Tsakris, among the measures being considered is the prohibition of trafficking earlier in areas with epidemiological problems.
He focused on the issue of telecommuting expansion, which he explained would help unload public transport.
He also emphasized that laboratory tests should extend beyond screening in the community, but also in closed structures, in order to detect new small or large outbreaks of the pandemic in time.
