Coronavirus: Concerns about lockdown effectiveness – Cases remain high
What do scientists fear and what are their suggestions to the government about schools and food services due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Concern prevails both in the government and among the infectious disease specialists about the coronavirus pandemic in our country. The numbers of the “invisible enemy” in Greece are heartbreaking and this is because we may enter the fourth week of lockdown, however the cases do not seem to be decreasing. In other words, 1,882 cases may have been recorded in the last 24 hours, but the number of intubated patients reached 622 (negative record in our country) and the deaths were 100.
The data, that is, shows that the course of the coronavirus only does not unfold positively, judging by the image presented by the ICUs throughout the country.
More specifically, as soon as a bed is emptied, it is immediately filled with patients who need to be treated. In fact, the director of the ICU of Papanikolaou Hospital, Nikos Kapravelos, just on Thursday, (when the government spokesman, Stelios Petsas, announced the extension of the lockdown) said that the data on the coronavirus is worrying and the health workers are listening to possible lifting of measures. The president of the Panhellenic Medical Association, Athanasios Exadaktylos, recently stated to ethnos.gr that the lockdown will be lifted only when we are in a double-digit number of cases.
As one can see by studying the data, the lockdown is not applied literally, since only in a 24 hour period the competent audit services (EL.AS., Coast Guard, DI.M.E.A., E.A.D., S.PE., Municipal Police, Regions) carried out a total of 62,857 inspections and recorded 1,714 cases of violation of epidemiological alert measures. A total of 567,100 euros in fines and a 15-day suspension were imposed on nine companies.
Another proof that lockdown is not implemented literally in our country is that coronavirus parties continue. The latest example is the coronavirus party that took place in an apartment in Oreokastro, Thessaloniki, where the authorities arrested seven people, aged 18 to 26, because they did not comply with the measures against the coronavirus but also because small quantities of cannabis were found on them.
