Although the tightening of restrictive measures is expected tomorrow (Wednesday) due to the serious condition of Covid-19 in the country, complete isolation does not seem to be an option.
During his speech in Durrës, Prime Minister Rama said that experts doubt that the new variants may have entered the country, but it is the Committee of Experts that will announce how the citizens should act in the future.
"On February 15, the other doses come. Vaccines for the elderly will be launched after the February doses arrive. It will start for those 80 plus and then we will go down the 75 year olds and so on. Our experts are skeptical that the African and British variant may have entered the country.
These two variants greatly increase transmissibility and are more lethal. We must implement the measures. The Technical Committee will meet tomorrow. The goal is to stay in balance because they need to maintain a balance between the economy, the psychological side and health. We can not lock ourselves in the house until this job is done. "We should no longer get rid of people with scandalous actions when things are very clear," he said.
In the last 24 hours alone, about 1239 new cases of Covid-19 and 16 victims have been identified.
