“The measures are being taken because we have to put a stop to the spread of the pandemic and not reach the situation that prevails in Northern Europe and keep the market open at Christmas.” stressed the Minister of Development and Investment Adonis Georgiadis, speaking to SKAI television about the measures that will apply from tomorrow Monday throughout the country.
The Minister noted that the measures for the coronavirus are not punitive in nature for the unvaccinated citizens and the restrictions imposed are aimed at protecting both themselves and others: “Our unvaccinated citizens are in danger and we want to protect them, not punish them. Because their health is endangered, consequently the NSS is also endangered with more hospitalizations.”
The possibility of a new general ban in the country was once again ruled out by the minister, who, however, left open the possibility of taking additional measures for the unvaccinated, “to the extent that they can burden the National Health System,” he said.
Regarding strengthening of the health system, Mr. Georgiadis stated that since the time of the SYRIZA government, the ICUs have more than doubled and as he characteristically stated, “no matter how much we want, even if we had 1 billion euros, we can not do more because we do not have personnel to staff them ”
“Germany, with the most ICUs per 100 people in the world, sends patients to neighboring countries abroad because their own are not enough due to pressure on its health system. “So no matter how many ICUs you build, if you do not stop the pandemic, they will not be enough,” he said.
