Seeing the behavior of the people, it is a bit difficult to reach the desired result in order to relax at Christmas, said speaking on the OMEGA show, Information Now, the member of the epidemiological team Dr. Petros Karagiannis.
Specifically, Mr. Karagiannis stated:
"How we will celebrate this year is still unknown. If we really want to celebrate, we will have to be prudent during this period until Christmas, so as not to help further the spread and we may succeed."
The upward trend in the other provinces is obvious but, when the measures came in, there was no doubt that Limassol was in the lead, and was in the worst situation, said Dr. Karagiannis.
As to whether the measures are reversed in other cities, Mr. Karagiannis pointed out that this depends on the epidemiological picture.
"Until December 13, there will be two national reports of epidemiological data, so since we will have this data, we will decide what will happen"
When will the results of the vaccine be seen in the community?
"We will see tangible results for up to 6 months from the moment vaccinations begin in Cyprus," said Dr. Petros Karagiannis.
"Once someone is vaccinated because the vaccine will be given in 2 doses, the second will be given 3 weeks later, the antibodies will develop up to a week later, so from the beginning to the end it will take a month. The more we vaccinate then we will get close to the desired result "
He also pointed out that someone who will get the vaccine will not be contagious unless he belongs to this small group who will be infected but will not show symptoms but we do not know if they are contagious.
"It is still unanswered whether we should be vaccinated every year with the coronavirus vaccine as is the case with influenza A. The antibody results do not appear to be declining but we will have to see that later."
The side effects of the vaccine.
There have been no serious side effects so far in those who were vaccinated, he stressed.
"Up to 200.000 people may have been vaccinated, there was no problem, except for one case involving a girl who had multiple sclerosis and did not report it before being vaccinated."
