Just in case it flares up pandemic in the country if its “Centaur” variant appears coronavirusProfessor of Engineering Ecology Dimofenis Sarigiannis spoke.

Speaking to SKAI, the professor noted that by the end of September, it is highly likely that we will see a resurgence of the pandemic due to a specific strain of the virus, even calling this scenario “realistic”.

He indicated that the Centaurus mutation was 18.5% more contagious than the Omicron 4-5 mutation.

However, he said the de-escalation would continue with slight fluctuations until the end of the month, with daily cases falling below 6,000 in early September.

Regarding the reopening of schools, he said that it was being discussed that fewer measures would be in place, without mandatory self-checks and with a mask only in conditions of coexistence. He expressed his doubts about this medical protocol, stressing that he is in favor of wearing a mask in school classes.

As for the updated corona virus vaccines, he stressed that they would work against Omicron 4-5, and for Centauri – if the scenario of its dominance is confirmed – he said that they would protect against serious diseases.
