The cases today are expected to reach yesterday’s negative record, the Minister of Health, Thanos Plevris, estimated on SKAI. “From the picture I saw this morning, I guess it will move to the same level, a little more, a little less,” he said characteristically about the number of cases. Our country recorded yesterday 50,126 cases of coronavirus.
So far, there is no patient intubated with the Omicron mutation, although he has been in our country since December 20, Mr. Plevris clarified. In this context, he noted that the increase in cases alone should not be a deterrent to the opening of schools.
“We have a stricter protocol than we had in the more morbid Delta, precisely because the contagion is higher. “We are not in a general lockdown, if we were, you could have guessed that the children would stay home. At the moment, especially the children of the high school and the schools were closed, they would move as they do and the contagion would be higher,” he said. .
Explain that self tests “The parents will receive them as it is done so far, and where there is a need for rapids, they will be done in public structures, and for this reason in fact, because there may be waiting in public structures, we are in consultation and increase the points we will announce, but there is also a priority for the students who will rap “.
The minister clarified that “since September we did not close the schools, a protocol worked, at the time the prevailing mutation in our country was the Delta mutation, whose morbidity was much stronger than Omicron, so the choice from September was open schools “.
“Based on the protocol that worked, the dispersion was smaller than we had estimated. Omicron has a peculiarity… The cases are very high is something we expect, but to the extent that these cases are not transferred to much higher pressure in the NSS, we believe that we must deal with it with this management approach. Will the NSS be pressured? Yes it will be pressed. We see it”.
According to Thanos Plevris, the dominant position in the committee was to open the schools on January 10, while there was full agreement on the protocol with some remarks.
If the Omicron mutation prevails, and does not give other mutations, it will be an optimistic message for humanity, because it refers to a mild disease, the Minister of Health estimated.
