Lockdown:- Restrictions and lockdown the plan over the next few months.

The computer model by the professor of Environmental Engineering of the Department of Chemical Engineering of the Polytechnic School of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Demosthenes Sarigiannis, provides figuires that show the escalation of cases after November 10, reaching 500 cases per day on November 30.

“From the 10th of the month – where we expect a peak of cases of maybe more than 3,000 – we will begin to have a rapid decompression of the situation. I wait until November 30th, close to 500 cases, maybe a little more, and then the economy will open carefully. The heavy epidemiological burden of both Attica and Thessaloniki is reflected in the sewage of both areas “, said Mr. Sarigiannis on Open TV.

Alternating lockdown due to coronavirus

Despite the temporary epidemiological decompression, the professor estimates that the State will need to take other restrictive measures in the future. As he said, his proposal is the implementation of alternating local lockdowns. This plan provides for 21 days of lockdown and 14 days open, repeating this model three to four times, in order to drive safely until March. This proposal estimates that the daily incidence will be close to 500 to 800, thus helping to decompress the health system, as more than 200 patients will end up in the ICU, a number manageable for the National Health System.

Christmas without quarantine and carefully easing on restrictions.

According to Mr. Sarigiannis, after November 30, we are coming out of the universal lockdown with some restrictive measures, with the reopening of the retail trade and the rest of the commercial activities and a very careful opening of restaurants. At the same time, he predicts that we will spend Christmas carefully open. For his part, Stylianos Loukidis, pulmonologist, associate professor of the Medical School, 2nd Pulmonary Clinic of the Medical School of EKPA that there is no evidence that the virus has mutated.

“In hospitals we have an increased number of hospitalizations and intubations. The treatment of these patients lasts for days, they do not leave the hospital quickly .. And this burdens the health units. I think we can stand it if the model is confirmed. No health system can withstand a large number of incidents. In ATTICA, as in all hospitals, we are in the process of managing cases “, added Mr. Loukidis.

Petsas: It is important to maintain jobs

To have an even bigger recession this year than 8.2 as estimated by the Commission, reaching 9%, it is important to keep jobs and the productive materials in place so that they all have a share with a quick restart in 2021, when overcoming the health part of the crisis, said government spokesman Stelios Petsas.

Kikilias: We will wear a mask until March

“The measure of the mask will definitely accompany us until the spring months”, stressed the Minister of Health, Vassilis Kikilias. He called on older people and vulnerable groups to pay special attention, noting at the same time that the safest way to get out of the lockdown is to follow the health rules.

Regarding the coronavirus vaccine, Mr. Kikilias, speaking to SKAI, stressed that according to the latest data, it will be available at the end of the year with the beginning of 2021 and will be given in the first phase to vulnerable groups and health workers.
