Economou: Obviously ordering doctors if deemed necessary – Increase in vaccinations after the measures |

“Obviously we will move on, “If it is required and necessary (at the urging of doctors), we had done it again in the past, and in mobilizing the services of scientists to strengthen the NSS” pointed out Giannis Oikonomou on the occasion of Matina Pagonis’ statement to SKAI for last night “Saint B to the NSS “.

“When the Ministry of Health considers that the need for the order is urgent, do not have any doubt that we will proceed to this step as we have done in the past,” he clarified.

The government spokesman assured that “we will not stop doing what is needed to strengthen the NSS, we have already added beds from the private sector, we will add others according to the requirements, we have introduced incentives for private doctors to strengthen the system, if not return what is expected there will be a request “.

“We will do whatever is necessary to strengthen the NSS and help deal with the pandemic, which mainly affects the unvaccinated, it is certain that this will be done at all levels. “We will not stop trying to persuade all our citizens to be vaccinated,” he promised.

As he pointed out, in our country largest increase in cases in Northern Greece where there is lower vaccination coverage. 9 out of 10 ICU patients are unvaccinated, this shows that the only safe and effective defense against the pandemic is vaccination.

He further noted that following the announcement and implementation of new measures for the unvaccinated last Saturday and the extensive controls, there is a progressive increase in the planning of vaccinations by the unvaccinated. “November 1 to 7 there are about 149,000 new appointments. Even at the last hour some make the choice in favor of life and public health “.

As of last Friday, Mr. Oikonomou reminded, the platform for booster dose was opened for those over 18 years old since 6 months have passed since the second dose and the platform for second dose for those who have been vaccinated with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine if 2 months have passed since the first

He accused the opposition of campaigning for exaggeration, lies and terrorizing citizens. “Those who imagine an inclusive society offer bad services to the homeland,” he stressed.

Mr. Oikonomou specifically accused Mr. Tsipras “of the amateurism, inefficiency and naivety with which he managed all the crises that happened to him to manage”.

Greece, he noted, throughout the pandemic has managed to pay a smaller share at all levels. The government’s strategy, he said, is an open economy and society, and at the same time an effort to expand vaccination coverage and reduce the losses of our fellow human beings, which would be smaller with more vaccinations, and the government is working in that direction.

He underlined that “from the beginning of the pandemic, the waves of the pandemic were followed by waves of information.

I do not refer only to the public messages of the Prime Minister or to the regular updates of the ministry and the scientists or to the successive debates that took place in the Parliament. I am also referring to special campaigns that have been around all this time, in various phases: from personal hygiene measures in the beginning to how we will be vaccinated later. And from the instructions for the older ones to the way the schools work and the campaign that is running these days.

Our government was one of the first on the planet to immediately realize that the pandemic could not be treated medically. “With the digital modernization of the state and with a complex network of regulations of the entire state mechanism, we have strongly resisted the virus, and we still endure with the economy, society and education fully functional,” he observed.
