The logic from now on, are targeted measures and not horizontal logics, stressed the Minister of Health.
It would not make sense taking of measures in the summer, there is no pressure on Health System, stressed the Minister of Health Thanos Plevris, talking about the increase of coronavirus cases in our country. However, he did not rule out the need to take some mild measures autumn months.
“If there is pressure on the system, which we think will be such pressure in the autumn months, we will obviously consider in a mild way if some measures need to be taken, but the logic from now on is to go to targeted groups, targeted measures. and not in horizontal logics “, stressed the Minister of Health speaking at the Open.
According to Mr. Plevris, the increase in cases was expected due to mobility and the question is whether it affects the Health System. He explained that although it does not affect the hard indicators, the intubations are much smaller than the capabilities of the System, but there is an increase in simple hospitalizations.
“At the moment it seems that the wave and with the data we have from the other countries that went through the sixth wave, will be one that will not put pressure on the Health System and in this sense no action will need to be taken.” noted Mr. Plevris.
In case restoring the mask indoors, he said that what has been abolished is not its use but the administrative fine, as “societies cannot operate continuously under administrative measures”. Recommended to citizens where there is coloration especially indoors to wear a protective mask.
“We have entered another phase of coexistence with the pandemic, not in terms of selection, but this is how it happens when mutations have become very contagious.”the minister added and noted that Greece was the last country to throw away the masks, one and two months after the other European countries, even those that are not dependent on tourism.
