The experts are ringing the alarm in anticipation of Christmas and are trying to extra meters to preserve the situation.
The closer the Christmas holidays get, the tighter the noose around them unvaccinated citizens, both in Greece and worldwide.
Following compulsory vaccination for people over 60 in the country, scientists and the government are considering new, stricter measures for the unvaccinated, with two main axes. On the one hand to stop the alarming course of the pandemic, on the other hand to save Christmas.
What are the possible measures
In this context, in fact, his words were characteristic Adonis Georgiadis, who speaking to ACTION24, clarified that "I do not rule out any other measure, except universal lockdown", Revealing that in fact, if deemed necessary based on the evolution of the pandemic, the possibility of even the universal obligation of vaccinations for the entire population will be considered.
Another particularly severe measure that is in force today is that unvaccinated citizens will only receive a certificate of illness with molecular test (PCR), following a recommendation by the Committee of Experts.
In the run-up to Christmas, the Committee of Experts is always considering another tough measure for the unvaccinated. As revealed by the president of the Panhellenic Medical Association, Athanasios Exadaktylos, there is a suggestion for exclusion from the Theme Parksof unvaccinated citizens.
Speaking to MEGA, Mr. Exadaktylos, when asked if there is a suggestion for the Theme Parks so that only vaccinated people can enter and that the employees are also vaccinated, confirmed this. "We have one seasonal occupation, so people will now get a job there and given that a large proportion of children are unvaccinated and no vaccination is provided for them and since they will be moving with parents in the theme parks that are expected to be vaccinated, it makes sense for workers to be vaccinated as well . They are places of entertainment and not hearth of resurgence», explained.
These measures are aimed at limiting the spread of the virus and avoiding the new wave of the Omicron variant. Asked about the disease certificate and whether it will last less, Mr. Exadaktylos stressed that "There has been an initial discussion, without having reached somewhere."
"With her arrival Omicron variant"The data are definitely changing and it is very likely that we will see a differentiation in what is valid now, in the future," added the president of the Panhellenic Medical Association. He noted that "we are waiting for the data for Omicron. So far, the questions are more than the answers ".
As for whether there will be other measures for the unvaccinated, he stressed: "We had discussions and what will be announced is that those who get disease certification from now on, should have PCR, ie rapid testing is not enough, as it is much more reliable."
