He then spoke about the schools, clarifying that no issue was raised with the epidemiological team for closing the schools. "We will not gain much if schools close a week earlier, unless things get worse and we are forced to close various sectors," she said. Κολιού.
At the same time, he referred to the festive period of Easter and the possibility of further relaxation, emphasizing that he does not see things very well if the image of the last days continues. "It is not the percentage of positives of the samples, but the admissions to the Hospitals". He added that the final decisions will be made next week.
"There is a possibility only with a drop in cases and hospitalizations", clarified Dr. Κολιού.
He also spoke about vaccination and specifically about the point of view of age restriction, noting that there was a discussion and they ended up waiting for the final decision of Coreper on the cases of thrombosis.
