In detail, Petros Karagiannis said:
The measures had to be tightened. Stricter than I expected to be honest. Everyone panicked at yesterday's results (including ours) which will be repeated for at least the next two to three days. ΄
The partial operation of some restaurants was discussed and they were finally closed. I understand that from the moment the high schools close, places that can be located must also be closed.
For the church we had said to drop the numbers. We need drastic measures to limit the spread of the virus.
If we enter the Christmas season with such numbers it will not be a good omen for what will happen in the first weeks of January.

We all expect a third wave and hope to reduce it with these measures.
There will probably be a little relaxation during the holidays, but it will all depend on ourselves. If we do not implement measures to protect ourselves we will not do many things. Instead we will make them worse.

The virus is not limited to cities. It's everywhere. At the moment they are free and trafficked some may not implement the measures properly.
