Th. Plevris: The 7-month vaccination certificate for everyone without the third installment

Announcements after the New Year for the vaccination certificates were announced by the Minister of Health Thanos Plevris through SKAI TV.

As he said, it has almost been decided that the validity of the vaccination certificate will be seven months and those who have not taken a booster dose will be considered unvaccinated.

At the same time, he left open the possibility of extending the obligation for those over 50 years old. “We are not dogmatic in compulsion but we are considering extending it according to age criteria.”

For the unvaccinated, he also left open the possibility that the unvaccinated will not have access to the outdoors in the future either, and stressed that this has already been requested by the experts.

The Minister of Health also mentioned that the transmission of Omicron is very high and moves at a young age. Only 6% of cases are over 60 years old. “The bet is not to be passed on from a young age to parents and grandparents.”

He added that we are expecting a big rise of Omicron soon and fast.

According to Mr. Plevris, Attica and Crete are most affected.

For the schools, he said that they will be opened and if interventions in the protocols are needed, it will be done based on the suggestions of the experts.

Referring to the new measures, he pointed out that they will be valid until January 15. “We are not talking about extended measures, if any intervention is needed, he estimated, however, that no special extension will be needed as the micron cycle will probably be short.”

It is recalled that the minister will meet with the Super League at one and a half at noon. “If the measures are followed, we are ready to discuss immediately to increase the fullness that will satisfy both the fans and the teams”
