Restrictions on supermarkets are back. According to a SKAI report, from tomorrow one customer will be allowed per 9 square meters, as was the case during the total ban.
A relevant decision is expected from the Ministry of Development.
The Minister of Health, Thanos Plevris, spoke on SKAI 100.3 on Friday about the escalation, if necessary, of the measures concerning the unvaccinated citizens. Mr. Plevris noted that “this is what Europe chooses, this is what Greece chooses”.
Regarding the discussion for the extension of the obligation, the minister stated that “if you extend it, you will have to predict what the sanctions will be that you will impose on them”.
“What will be the sanctions for a 60-year-old who will be forced to be vaccinated?” asked the Minister of Health.
As for the unvaccinated health workers who are on suspension, he commented that those who are auxiliary staff do not renew their contract, while the rest are still not paid. He also revealed that the doctors’ associations in the hospitals are pressuring the ministry to return the unvaccinated health workers.
The Minister stressed that lately there is full cooperation with the private sector, as private clinics with all the vacant ICU beds available, participate in the public health system.
The possibility of unvaccinated citizens entering supermarkets with a rapid test has been discussed, but there are problems with its implementation, said on Friday morning the Minister of Development, Adonis Georgiadis.
“Of course it is being examined, but there are problems. We also discussed it at the meeting at the Maximos Palace “, noted Mr. Georgiadis, speaking at the Open, however he explained the reasons that make it difficult to implement this measure.
“There are some of our fellow citizens who will not even do a rapid test and we can not deprive them of access to basic goods,” he said, adding to the problem of endless queues that will be created during rush hour in department stores.
At the same time, the minister referred to the criticism of the measures that have been taken for the restaurants, emphasizing that to hear with such intensity that the restaurant is asking for new money, is very unfair “.
Mr. Georgiadis stressed that the restaurant received the most money compared to other sectors and pointed out that the grief of entrepreneurs should be directed to the vaccinated who “because of them the pandemic continues to exist”.
