Pandemic: What new measures are under discussion?

They have been studying the data at the Ministry of Health since yesterday and today it is expected that the competent minister will have a meeting with his close associates in order to complete the list of suggestions that will be presented tomorrow before the members of the Advisory Scientific Committee for discussion and finalization. 

The new package must be taken for granted, since after yesterday's report, concerns about increase in the number of hospitalized patients with coronavirus began to become even greater, as within 24 hours the total number increased by 16 patients, reaching 203, at the time, as we are informed, that yesterday discharges were issued.

Further reduction of people in nightclub gatherings and social receptions, but also reducing the number of home gatherings and other areas are under discussion. The ban on the participation of believers in water sanctification ceremonies on the day of the Epiphany, while measures that will affect the operation of the churches will probably be implemented again, with reduction of the allowed number of believers per function.

Of course, if the results of today and tomorrow put more pressure on public hospitals, which have already sounded the alarm for the fullness of the Intensive Care Units and the Intensive Care Units, it is not excluded that the measures that will ultimately decide to be even stricter. It should not even be considered remote for restriction on the movement of citizens, but without closing the economy.

The Ministry of Health is not currently considering measures that will include closing schools, however the possibility of increase in sampling in all schools.

In terms of gossip about a fourth universal ban Lockdown, the information states that it is not included in the intentions of either the Minister of Health or the Government in general. On the table, however, are proposals for measures, which will further affect the unvaccinated and in particular the unvaccinated who declare close contacts and are absent from work.
