The spread of the Omicron mutation in our country is expected to be rapid based on what stated on the show “Today” on SKAI, Professor of Pulmonology Nikos Tzanakis.
According to the professor, within 15-20 days, the number of daily cases due to Omicron is expected to multiply and as he said it is possible that after the celebration of the Lights they will be recorded by 15 to 18 thousand cases in just 24 hours. He characteristically stated: “I will speak empirically. In all countries the pandemic wave due to Omicron started with an image like in Greece. That is, the cases stabilize in high numbers and suddenly skyrocket to double and triple within 15-20 days. Assuming that we start now, it is possible to see an explosion shortly after the Lights. It will be about three to four times the current picture if we can diagnose them all. We may record 15-18 thousand cases shortly after the Lights, without ruling out a small increase immediately after the New Year “.
On the other hand, the professor advised the public to carry out frequent testing, by conducting self-tests, as he stressed every 3 days during the holidays, but also to strictly observe the protection measures: “To do 4 self-tests during the holidays until the New Year , one every 2-3 days, regardless of symptoms and vaccination status. The tables at the celebration should be small, up to 10 people, to use a mask of high protection and not to take it off at all, so we have nothing to fear “.
Finally, the professor described the 4th dose as inevitable for people who can not develop immunity, ie for those with serious underlying diseases.
