«All measures for the pandemic which will be suspended until the summer, in their entirety will be reviewed in September. We are not talking about the abolition of the measures, we are talking about a suspension based on the epidemiological picture of the summer as well “, stressed the Minister of Health Thanos Plevris, speaking on ANT1 television.
He added that in September there is a fear, according to the WHO, that the coronavirus will return aggressively. Explain that cases remain high, but this is not reflected in hospitalizations. Crucial to this is the fact that almost 85% of adults and 90% over the age of 60 are vaccinated against covid-19. The administration of Pfizer antiviral pills started today.
The Minister of Health clarified that the vaccination certificate remains normal and what is being considered is for the summer period to access the premises without the need to demonstrate it, but this will be discussed in the committee of experts and will depend on the epidemiological picture. .
He reiterated that from April 15 to August 31, the fines for those who have not been vaccinated over the age of 60 will be suspended and the measure will be reviewed from September and any decisions will be made based on the epidemiological situation.
Regarding the suspension of the duties of the unvaccinated health workers, he said that on Wednesday the provision that provides for their stay outside the NSS until December 31 is voted. They do not return to the NSS and the government’s position is that as long as there is a pandemic the health worker in order to be able to work in health structures will have to be vaccinated against covid-19 and this has to do with both public health and the fact that someone who denies his science can not provide services, the minister said. Nearly half of the 7,000 who were suspended have returned, the minister said, some have been vaccinated and some have returned to the system with a disease certificate.
