After two years we will have regular Easter without restrictionsin addition to those that exist today, said Health Minister Thanos Plevris.
This means that the Epitaph will be followed and in the Churches everything will be normal with the conditions that already exist. Obviously there will be a recommendation to use a mask outdoors, where there is overcrowding, but after two years it will be a Easter which will be closer to normal.
“Right now, the pandemic has entered a different phase, but the image that we are leaving it behind should not be given at all. We have a mutation with high transmissibility, so the number of cases is and remains high. However, in the National Health System there is not the same pressure that the previous mutations caused, especially regarding the heavy hospitalizations. “There is pressure in the simple beds, as now the hospitals serve all non-Covid cases”, he stressed.
As he explained speaking to Open, the plan is as follows: At the moment, based on the epidemiological data, as we approach the summer and with a basic date of some at the beginning of May – we will go to a further de-escalation of the measures.
Any de-escalation in the summer will be re-examined in its entirety because scientists from both Coreper and the ECDC are very cautious about the fall.
Also, the certificate is still validbut access to indoor and other areas will be reconsidered from May.
The Infectious Diseases Committee in the previous days also stressed that there will be no further lifting of measures until May Day.
Worry about the Easter table
Another thing that worries citizens beyond the measures is the fire-prices for the Easter table.
According report by and Makis Synodinos, the price of lamb is expected to exceed 10 euros per kilo. Regarding poultry and pork there is an increase of 10-20% in butchers, while lamb can reach up to 12 euros per kilo due to lack of goods.
