Professor Gogos: Up to 2,000 cases in the next few days – Time for a partial lockdown
Charalambos Gogos’ estimates for the next few days are not encouraging at all. What he said about Thessaloniki, but also the possibility of a new lockdown in the country.
Wednesday’s new case record does not seem to be the country’s epidemiological “ceiling”, based on the predictions of Charalambos Gogos, who estimated that by the weekend the number will increase even more.
“Unfortunately, the dynamics of the increase that exists these days, gives us the feeling that we will have even more in the next ones. With this increase that we see which is very large in 2-3 days, it is not excluded that we will see 2,000 cases by “Weekend. With the R at 1.2 and 1.3 we understand that cases are growing faster. The increase shows that we are not going backwards but forwards,” said the professor and member of the infectious disease committee at MEGA.
Then, Ch. Gogos referred to the situation in Thessaloniki, which “is not good. The Health System is under a lot of pressure, there are many admissions and it will probably enter level 4, in the red we say. The situation there is difficult, the numbers are constantly increasing, there is a problem and it will have to change category “.
In fact, the professor expressed the view that now is the time to take more effective measures, proposing the imposition of some lockdown in the country “before other areas blush”:
“Our goal is to reduce the concentration of people; in Thessaloniki maybe the restaurant will be closed from 9 pm In Athens things are somewhat stable, the increase is not tragic. Now is the phase where we have to move forward “Instead of waiting to see other areas blush, it is better to take these measures now that they are in orange,” said the professor, who even noted that infectious disease specialists “from here” and beyond we will meet every day. ”
