The new measures are mild, Georgiadis says
Development and Investment Minister Adonis Georgiadis spoke on Tuesday on SKAI TV about the new measures announced yesterday by the government in the shadow of the spread of the 'Omicron' variant.
Commenting on the change of operating hours to restaurants and entertainment centres as of January 3, Georgiadis stated that "the restaurants will not be affected, but the entertainment centres will indeed be hurt".
In fact, he described the measures as relatively mild.
As the Development Minister explained, it seems that the number of cases is increasing, but the health system is not under pressure.
"We left the market open because the pressure on the health system has not started yet and we respect the businessmen. "I appeal to young people, if they have been to nightclubs, they'd better avoid meeting elderly people," he noted.
"The new wave is here, in the next two or three weeks the cases will rise and we will break records as is the case in other countries," he added.
