And the quarantine situation continues as we know it.
With new cases reaching 1496, 707 patients intubated and 53 deaths, the aforementioned timetable, which would have seen the retail sector open this Monday and the catering sector from the beginning of April, was not even on the experts’ table.
Discuss high schools – high schools to open Monday 5 April, inter-city commuting to be allowed also 5 April, retail to open Wednesday 14/4 and food service to open Monday 19/4. No new decisions and measures seem to have been taken during the meeting with the infectious diseases experts having scheduled a new meeting next week.
Experts, seeing the outbreaks have hit red almost all over Greece, do not want to take responsibility for any relaxation measures at this particular time. Giving us slight leeway, under the circumstances, is something that makes them nervous, because they obviously don’t want us to be distracted by false messages.
Today at our scheduled and regular briefing by the Deputy Minister of Civil Protection and Crisis Management Nikos Chardalias, among other things, it was announced that:
1) The opening of retail on 29/3 as announced last week is not going ahead.
2)Freezes the opening of the focus.
3) Hairdressers and nail salons continue to operate as normal, under the conditions and measures already in place.
FREE self rapid Test
From the beginning of April we will be able to get a free coronavirus test every week by telling our social security number at our local pharmacy. As it turns out, the test is perfectly safe to do yourself at home. When the time comes, there will be videos and leaflets with instructions for our convenience. Home-based individual tests, according to preliminary information, have a high degree of sensitivity and validity approaching 95-99%.
In cases where you find that you are positive, there will be a process of recording your data in a special platform and you will have to talk to your doctor depending on your symptoms!
The map of the dispersion of new cases in Greece during the last 24 hours follows in detail
