Alkiviadis Vatopoulos, professor of microbiology, places the return to normality in the summer at the earliest and under certain conditions.
As he highlighted when speaking on SKAI television, the summer of 2021 could be “free” if 70% of the country’s population has acquired immunity, either through vaccination or after illness.
“Until then, mask,” said the professor.
He explained that society is the one that determines the epidemiological data and that if the measures had been implemented correctly since the summer, we could also have avoided this confinement.
Responding to those who are skeptical about vaccines, he said that if you go through the international organizations that are very careful you will be safe while on the other hand until the “turn” of Greece you will have accumulated more experience since hundreds of thousands have already been vaccinated. people in countries like the United States and Great Britain.
He said it doesn’t appear to have serious side effects and that any vaccine can cause a flush. In any case, Mr. Vatopoulos said that he and his family will be vaccinated.
The confinement can end on January 7
Asked whether he was too optimistic to expect the restrictions to be lifted on January 7, the professor replied that “it is neither for nor against, but it is a date that may be valid.”
Schools will unexpectedly reopen, he said, unless the situation has improved.
For festive tables
For the festive tables, he stressed that he is not sure of the number of 9 people, but the number should definitely be small.
The professor added that it is unrealistic to ask people to keep everyone locked up in their homes. Therefore, “the state proposed and we agreed to make a gradual opening on the occasion of Christmas.”
He recommended caution and restraint and called on citizens to protect themselves, not to crowd together so that we do not have a setback.
For the Churches
When asked why the committee gave the “green light” to increase the number of believers in the Churches, he said infectious disease specialists realized that the numbers allowed distances to exist and therefore this measure it could be adopted in a healthy way.
He also raised the psychological dimension that no one can ignore, since many citizens want to go to church.
