The state has an obligation to ensure a socially fair return to normalcy, the health minister noted. “If there is a choice, our social and economic life cannot be suspended. There will be public health measures but they will concern the unvaccinated for two reasons:
Stop the spread of mutations
To shield the health system from the serious disease “.
“Vaccine pandemic”
Unlike last fall, each of us can get protection and be protected. We have the vaccines. Do we live inside or outside the immune wall we are building? The data from the hospitalizations of the last two months show that we are going through a pandemic of people who are unvaccinated. More than 90% of patients in COVID ICU are unvaccinated. “A key difference is that thanks to the vaccine, we will not turn our hospitals into a priority for servicing coronavirus cases”, said Mr. Kikilias initially.
