The blocking counter is reset. It will begin to count again this Friday, when the strictest framework is implemented with the restriction of movements, from 9 to 5 hours, to what is absolutely necessary.
It is clear that the example of Thessaloniki, where the biweekly ban at the local level, did not yield the expected results in the flattening of the virus curve. Combined with the significant divergence of projections and the final trend in epidemiological data, the suffocating pressure on the NSS, but also the disorder in the observance of the measures forces the government to withdraw earlier and possibly at the same time all the weapons it still has in your quiver. It is also clear that The chances of the quarantine ending on November 30 are now significantly reduced.
Possibly after November 19, when the Covid-19 Summit will take place via videoconference, together with the European position, but also the data that will exist at that time, to give a new milestone. Some identify it even at the beginning of the second ten days of December, but for the moment all possibilities are open. In addition, the closure of schools is on the table, something that the government spokesman did not rule out. Some sources, however, specify the time lock on secondary education in the coming days. There is still the restriction on professional activities that are still free.
The prime minister gave the green light at noon on Wednesday. With Dimitris Tsiodras present and receiving the latest report on Thessaloniki from Vassilis Kikilias and Michalis Chrysochoidis, he accepted the suggestion to tighten the closure. As he wrote newsbomb.gr on Tuesday, information they wanted even stricter proposals for the time restriction zone. Are brought in fact, its speakers, in favor of its start from 6 in the afternoon. The reason for the restriction It is based on the finding that unnecessary movements occur mainly in the homes of citizens that facilitate the transmission of the virus. This is not a new measure but to harden the framework that already exists and is being bypassed.
In any case, from now on, the level of red alert for the operation of the state mechanism and the control authorities is fixed, since the next twenty-four hours are considered especially critical. As of Friday, November 13, from 9:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., circulation is restricted to what is absolutely necessary, that is, strictly for work, health and companionship reasons for the pets in each home and within a short distance of residence.
During this time, It is still necessary to send an SMS to 13033 in case of movement for health reasons (sms with code 1) or companion of pets (sms with code 6), as well as the employee certificate in case of movement for work reasons.
Measures also in prisons
Following the escalation in the number of coronavirus cases, it was decided to improve the health protection system of the country’s detention centers. Particularly:
-Each week tests will be carried out on the employees of the Detention Centers.
-Based on a specific program and with absolute priority in prisons with a high viral load, inmates will be tested.
– Special units with beds for prisoners are created in two Attica hospitals.
– Health regions across the country will provide medical and nursing staff to local detention centers.
It is noted that especially for the Thessaloniki Passenger Detention Center, where there is an increase in cases, it was decided to send an EODY ladder which will carry out a test today and tomorrow.
The spread of the virus within the Greek Police is also a matter of concern, leading to the adoption of measures for the protection of its personnel. All services in the country are covered with the necessary sanitary materials. All measures are supervised by agents and in fact with a strict protocol. The General Secretariat for Civil Protection has sent thousands of COVID tests, so only Hellenic Police personnel in Thessaloniki and in general in Northern Greece can undergo it.
Much of the “red” alarm refers to the extremely serious situation in the prefecture of Thessaloniki and in northern Greece. The data for the twenty-four hour period is indicative 10ης and 11ης November, when 25 intubations were performed in the ICU in northern Greece. Only AHEPA had 86 imports during its on-call time. Already. 50 beds for cardiac surgery, neurosurgery and vascular surgery have been converted into multifunctional ICUs and by Sunday another 50 ICU-COVID beds will have been developed throughout northern Greece. These are:
-6 in AHEPA,
-7 at Xanthi General Hospital,
-5 at Alexandroupolis University Hospital,
-5 in the General Hospital of Serres,
-15 at Ippokratio Hospital,
-6 at Giannitsa Hospital and 6 at Gennimata Hospital. For the additional support of Northern Greece, the country is now a Health Region and therefore each Health Region will support the other. This should be clear. In Europe we see patients who are transferred from one country to another
