The assessment that – given that the cases will be reduced for the next period – by the end of next week we will see a total reduction of hospitalizations and deaths, was made today Wednesday in the context of a discussion by the Minister of Health Thanos Plevris, at the 7th Economic Conference ΕΕΝΕ.
“The number of hospitalizations is already decreasing every day. But we are on alert, because there is the Omicron mutation, which has not hit us yet. At the moment, Greece is affected by the Delta mutation “, stressed the Minister of Health and added that the 4th wave in our country has reached its peak and all the data show that it is in a decline, while on the contrary it is now rising in other countries, especially of Central Europe. “We saw minus 30%. “This shows a de-escalation, but unfortunately the culmination of the hospitalization and unfortunately of the deaths of our fellow human beings is completed now, as we had 130 losses yesterday”, he stressed characteristically.
When those who have made the appointments complete the vaccination, we will be in 80% of the adult population and 70% of the general population, said Th. Plevris, emphasizing: “Our defense is the vaccine”.
Mr. Plevris noted that the national health system is basically pressured by our fellow human beings over 60 who are not vaccinated, pointing out that “they must be convinced that it is primarily for their health, we are working on this and for this reason we have put measures which if you will limit their ability to have full activities if they have not been vaccinated “.
To come and impose an administrative fine on a person over 60 or to consider him unvaccinated if he has not taken the booster dose is not an easy political measure, said the Minister of Health, and clarified that these measures “are for the benefit of public health. ». “We believe that this way we will be shielded in the next wave,” he stressed.
