The infectious disease specialist, Dr. Irini Christaki, spoke at Mesimeri kai Kati, who analyzed the government's plan to relax the measures.

Asked about possible relaxations, she replied that "returning children to school remains a priority". As for the other branches, he said that "we all look at the numbers of patients and we see that they remain high. So we know that we have an adequacy in the health system, but it is not unlimited. Already opening the restaurant, in my personal estimation, there will be broadcasts because the contacts and the movement will increase. But if the image allows we will continue the plan as it was set from the beginning, otherwise we revise. This de-escalation must be done carefully. At this moment a big opening took place "

Regarding the opening of the culture, he said that "it is something that can be discussed because the activities, which are low risk, could be opened with some certainty. But it is better for everyone to have a little patience, than to go back ".

He noted that "I am optimistic that we will be able to celebrate Easter without any strong restrictions. These weeks of late March to early April are a bet on whether we will be able to keep the morbidity low with the vaccination and whether we will be able not to have any very dramatic increase with the opening. "Also, we have to see what will happen in the ICU, because that is our toughest indicator and it does not have much flexibility."
