One can not say that we have reached the peak of the exacerbation, due to the reduced number of diagnostic tests performed due to the lockdown, said in the SIGMA show "Front Page" Dr. Petros Karagiannis.

There have been tremendous ups and downs in recent days, he said.

Regarding the reduction of cases that had been observed in the previous days, Mr. Karagiannis said that it depends on the sample of each day.

He also noted that there is an increased number of cases detected through private initiative, which means that these are not people who were close contacts, but people who may have symptoms.

As for the lockdown and when we expect its results to appear, Mr. Karagiannis responded early next week.

He clarified at the same time that "without the vaccination coverage we can not do anything, only lockdowns can not limit the emerging strains of the virus that are particularly problematic."

Asked to comment on whether mistakes were made during the management of the pandemic, Mr. Karagiannis replied that mistakes were made as in all countries of the world.
Regarding the Indian strain of the virus, he noted that we do not know if it is in Cyprus.
