Well being consultants warn politics take over important measures to forestall Covid unfold

Two well being consultants advising the federal government on Covid-19 have warned that politics appear to take over what must be completed to forestall the additional unfold of the virus.

Constantinos Tsioutis and Christos Petrou who’re each members of the Well being Ministry’s advising scientific committee imagine officers in Cyprus are caught on the grownup inhabitants’s vaccination proportion and that nothing else appears to matter.

“We’ve misplaced our perspective…it isn’t sufficient for the federal government to maintain saying that about 80% of adults have been vaccinated,” Tsioutis mentioned.

“As a result of the messages residents obtain are contradictory. There are not any coordinated strikes, no particular coverage that might result in substantial outcomes,” he added.

As for Petrou, he mentioned “for the reason that finish of August a few of us warned that we’ll be confronted with a steep rise in new infections…

“We at the moment are confronted with this new stat of play, we maintain warning that substantial protecting measures must be taken however it appears nobody is listening.”
