No additional restrictive measures will be taken for travel to winter destinations in the run-up to Christmas, even in areas with low vaccination coverage, government spokesman Giannis Oikonomou said during a briefing for political authors, stressing that “measures remain in place. ».
At the same time, he made extensive reference to the complaints of the president of POEDIN, Michalis Giannakou, about closed ICUs for the treatment of VIP patients, noting that he will be called to give explanations to the Greek justice, as the Minister of Health will submit a report to the Supreme Court. He clarified once again that ICUs are available exclusively with medical criteria. “Any other allegation that is unfounded, alien to reality, offends the doctors who make the decisions and unnecessarily poisons an already tense climate,” he said. In fact, he added that those who are intubated outside the ICU, with the first available ICU that can be transferred, is done immediately, without separation criteria.
Commenting on SYRIZA’s decision not to vote on the provision that provides for a two-year prison sentence and a fine for negative parents who prevent their children from attending compulsory education, Mr. Economou noted that “SYRIZA turns a blind eye to vaccinators and the name of the wild vote puts in second place even the right of children to education “. He added that Mr. Tsipras will be interested during his tour today in Epirus, in addition to his wooden and aphoristic opposition speech to explain why he supports those who deprive their minor children of the right to go to school.
Regarding vaccinations, he said that after the announcement of the obligation to citizens over 60, there is a significant increase in appointments by these age groups. Attendance is also increased and for the booster dose after the decision the reduction of the time interval that must occur between the second and the booster dose, to fall from six to three months. “In the last 10 days, more than 201,000 first-date appointments were made, of which almost 88,000 were for citizens aged 60 and over, and almost 1,450,000 for a booster appointment, of which more than 502,000 were for citizens over 60,” he said. .
Finally, he announced that tomorrow, Friday, December 10, the platform of appointments for the vaccination of children aged 5 to 11 will open and from December 15, their vaccinations will begin. “In the first phase, they will be carried out in 75 areas, while mobile crews will be sent to the islands and remote areas of the country. I would also like to add that from tomorrow a special platform will be operated under the responsibility of the Ministry of Education where parents will be able to address their questions regarding vaccination, while on December 14 Mrs. Theodoridou and Mrs. Papaevagellou will answer live through “to questions and inquiries from parents regarding the vaccination of this age group”, he concluded.
