“If necessary, the government will take any measure that concerns the unvaccinated”, said the Minister of Health, Thanos Plevris, emphasizing that the lockdown for those who have not rushed to the vaccination centers is on the table.
The minister also stressed that within the week the process of commandeering the services of private doctors will take place, stressing that “today, or tomorrow the process of voluntary participation is completed and then we will go with the commandeering of services”.
He pointed out that private doctors who voluntarily come to the battle of the NHS are still signing on.
“During the week, if the gaps are not filled, their services will be requested, however, the Associations have mobilized and every day we have names that want to come to the system voluntarily.”
He reiterated that there is full cooperation with the private sector, as over 700 beds in Northern Greece have been allocated to the NSS, while all non-Covid ICU beds are under the management of EKAB.
The minister stressed that the commandeering will first take place in Thessaly and Northern Greece and will be extended where necessary.
For mandatory third jab
Regarding the scenarios that want the third vaccine jab to become mandatory, the Minister of Health unfolded his concerns on Open TV.
“There is a concern that at some point we will have to see the vulnerable groups and the elderly get the third dose.
At this stage we are informing and insisting on how important and necessary it is.
The Minister of Health, however, admitted that the obligation of the third shot is a measure that is being considered, however so far the response is great, so if this continues, some intervention may not be needed.
