Universal lockdown for three weeks to the standards of last April, but with proper implementation of these measures, recommends the President of the KS EDEC, Marinos Sizopoulos, who calls on the Government to take immediate and effective measures to control and limit the spread of the virus.
In statements to the House, Mr. Sizopoulos warns that "unless immediate and effective measures are taken, the complete destruction of the economy, as well as the significant increase in deaths, must be taken for granted".
In particular, the President of the EDEC recommends the complete closure of airports, ports, marinas and roadblocks, while stressing that entry into the country should begin after January, with strict rules and with control over all incomings.
It also proposes to take measures to strengthen self-workers and small and medium-sized enterprises, which will be affected by the lockdown, noting that concrete proposals have already been submitted to the Minister both to increase the liquidity of the specific entrepreneurs affected and to the State.
In addition, it states that a gradual return to normality and a complete return to normality, subject to a significant reduction in cases, should be done in time before Christmas to enable the economy to be revitalised.
"The rapid increase in cases of coronavirus in recent weeks and the inability to fully trace the transmission chains render the measures taken to date ineffective", stresses Mr. Sizopoulos.
As he adds ,"the risk of a gradual increase in cases in older people or vulnerable groups will lead to an increase in the number of people in need of ICU hospitalization and possibly an increase in the number of deaths".
Finally, it states that the significant increase in expenditure, to deal with the second wave of the pandemic and the economic consequences of a possible global lockdown over the Christmas period, will have a huge impact on the already tested Cypriot society.
