According to reports, on January 15, local time, Greek Microbiology Professor Alkiviadis Vatopoulos said in an interview that the Greek economy is facing huge problems. Therefore, although the epidemic is not over, the Epidemic Prevention Committee has accepted the recommendation of the Ministry of Investment and Development. The store reopened on the 18th.
Professor Vatopoulos said that the two-hour time limit and the corresponding number of people will be a necessary condition for the retail industry to reopen.
"The committee recognized the possibility of reopening the retail industry based on this condition, and hopes that (the people) can abide by the regulations and (the relevant departments) can strictly enforce the law."
He also told the media that the prerequisite for resumption of work is detailed epidemiological monitoring, so that the authorities can find patients as soon as possible and restart the regional blockade as soon as possible.
Regarding the time limit for the catering industry to resume work, he said that although everyone wants to return to normal as soon as possible, things must be done one by one, and the state will be responsible for setting priorities.
The entertainment industry and the catering industry are ranked second, which means that if the resumption of work in the retail industry progresses smoothly, the epidemic prevention committee and the authorities will reach a consensus faster to promote the resumption of the entertainment industry and the catering industry.
He revealed that the committee is likely to make relevant decisions within two weeks.
Professor Vatopoulos emphasized that if congestion occurs, the authorities will be forced to take intervention measures again, that is, revoke all decisions to resume production and resume work and re-enter the lockdown.
"All of us should be aware that the restrictive plan proposed for the retail industry today is to avoid closing the market again. In the face of the risk of a possible outbreak of the epidemic, the authorities have no other choice." (Xu Yining)
