The government is awaiting scientific data on the new “Omicron” strain of the pandemic virus, in order to determine its next moves on the Covid-19 front, if these are required. Starting today, a series of meetings will begin to evaluate the latest data. Meetings that, anyway, have not stopped at the Maximos Palace during the last months. The government is waiting, together with the experts, for the analysis of the profile of the new mutation, which will show whether new interventions will be required for a health-safe Christmas. And what remains as a fixed point on the horizon is the, in all tones, executive remarks that the country will not enter a new lockdown.
“The pandemic is a dynamic phenomenon and we take the necessary measures, considering the epidemiological, economic and social data. The mix of measures is not static. Behind the individual regulations there is a strategic plan: promotion of public health, continuous strengthening of the NSS, safeguarding “The lockdown is not in the grid of our planning and will not exist. Christmas imposes the maximum responsibility”, noted (Kathimerini) the government spokesman, Giannis Oikonomou.
Vaccination for the course of vaccinations – Plan B
Megaro Maximou continues to focus on the triptych of the rise of vaccinations (whether they concern the first dose or the booster) of strict controls to comply with the measures and strengthen the health system, especially in those areas that receive the most pressure. Especially at the front of the rhythms of the company “Eleftheria”, in fact, the optimism that is radiated for the course of the vaccination coverage is pervasive in the public positions of government agents, as the picture of the last days refers to that of last March and April, when, that is, the program was in full swing. Based on the latest data:
-7,017,475 people have been vaccinated with at least one dose.
-6,580,353 people have completed their vaccination.
-1,241,427 people have been vaccinated with a booster dose.
What becomes clear from the discussions with executives is that the government wants to proceed in the next period and until the festive period of Christmas and New Year with the existing framework of interventions. However, in the scenario that requires a new alloy of measures, in the… drawer there are, according to information, proposals-ready to be thrown into battle. Suggestions related to the unvaccinated. If one considers that the areas accessed by the unvaccinated are, mainly, the open ones of the restaurant, then it is understood that, in case a movement comes to the fore that will tighten the cord even more, it will concern the specific activities. . On the table, then, are:
– The increase of rapid tests for our unvaccinated fellow citizens from two to three per week, with the prediction that the tests will be daily and not 48 hours.
-The resumption of mask use everywhere outdoors and not only in situations of coloration that, anyway, has never ceased to be in force.
-The red in the unvaccinated in terms of access to outdoor dining and entertainment, even if they have undergone a rapid test.
