The professor of Analytical Chemistry, Nikos Thomaidis, expressed his optimism for the course of the pandemic in the country, who speaking to SKAI noted that the situation has been checked and all indicators are good, with the exception of those for the intubated.
“Cases have been stabilizing for two weeks now. The same goes for the viral load in sewage. However, in Attica and Thessaloniki it remains high. The condition has been checked and the reproduction rate is around 1 and the positivity is 1.2-1.5. “The indicators are good, while the rate of vaccination is increasing,” he said.
The only worrying indicator, according to him, is the indicator of intubation and death, emphasizing that he wants a month after the reduction of cases to decline. “The big picture is that we have a rate of increase in losses, which is declining. It does not have the trend it had last week. It seems that we are going to a rolling average of the week that will be around 90-95 and some days we may see 100 “, Mr. Thomaidis pointed out.
In addition, he said that some additional measures should be taken for the unvaccinated in “red” areas, while he called on the people to be vaccinated, emphasizing that the third dose provides significant protection within a week of its administration.
However, the professor noted that at the moment it seems that the measures are working and that we will have Christmas with some restrictions, but much better than last year.
