In the shadow of the biggest pandemic outbreak that the country has experienced so far, the Minister of Health convened an extraordinary meeting today of the Advisory Committee, in order to submit suggestions.

The experts, having under the microscope the Entertainment Centers, where according to the tracking team most of the transmission chains are located, are expected to submit the following suggestions:

- Reduction of people in family gatherings

- Increase of teleworking up to 50%

Use of a double mask

-Reduction of attendees in entertainment centers and events (it is not excluded that even stricter measures will be taken)

The meeting will take place today Wednesday at 16:00 in the afternoon and as it became known, later the Minister will make statements.

As SigmaLive is informed, the tightening of measures such as teleworking and restriction on gatherings is a given, but not the implementation of a lockdown.
