Hospital Docs Union leader- Lockdown is a big mistake – Received threats

The opinion that no new measures are needed to stop the pandemic but the implementation of what is already in force and attention during the holidays, was expressed by the president of EINAP, Matina Pagoni.

Ms Pagoni said a general lockdown “would be the biggest mistake of the government” especially with the number of citizens who have been vaccinated and given the third boost.

With tests and up to 10 people at the New Year’s Eve

She recommended that there be 8 to 10 people at the festive tables who will have undergone a coronavirus test first, whether they have been vaccinated or not.

“If we really all want to be safe and at the same time have fun, I think a test is not that difficult,” he said.

When is the outbreak of Omicron expected in Greece – 70 times more contagious
