New, even stricter measures were imposed to take effect on Friday morning in western Attica after the coronavirus outbreak.

The measures were deemed unavoidable as West Attica has shown ten times more cases in recent days compared to other areas with a corresponding population.

Yesterday Wednesday, EODY announced 22.37 cases per 100.00 inhabitants in West Attica, when the East has only 5.37, the northern sector of Athens 7.1 and the southern suburbs, only 2.45. “We know that they are specific areas, in Aspropyrgos and other West Attica settlements. It is also in Rome and other settlements,” West Attica Deputy Governor Lefteris Kosmopoulos told SKAI.

There are two main reasons why cases have increased so much in West Attica. On the one hand, there are many large industrial buildings in the area, on the other hand, there are several family gatherings, without observing the protection measures.

“There was a factory that was suspended and all the workers were inside, all the workers were working there since it is out of control … And the instructions are clear … ‘if the control comes, go up to the roof,'” he said the president to SKAI. Nikos Evangelos Labor and Employment Center.

However, early in the morning, the police teams imposed fines on anyone who moved without having the corresponding certificate. The station also entered a gypsy camp, where authorities have identified several cases of coronavirus, although they believe it does not attract them. “We have antibodies and they do not catch us. We Roma have no case, I have not heard of any case,” Roma told the station’s camera, among other things.

“I’m only afraid of bullets … not coronavirus, I’m not afraid … never mind … here in Aspropyrgos it doesn’t work … What should I be afraid of?” What; This does not tell me anything, coronavirus and such, “said the residents of Aspropyrgos where 49 new cases were registered today. Nikos Hardalias announced, however, that massive coronavirus tests will be conducted. The massive molecular tests will be conducted in nursing homes in West Attica every five days.
