For hair salons that will have to precede the first phase of the partial lifting of the lockdown, said the Minister of Development and Investment, Adonis Georgiades, speaking to SKAI. Referring to the coming Sunday, 13/12/20, he noted that supermarkets will have the option to remain open, but this will be optional.

Mr Georgiades described the lockdown «rigorous», while he estimated that the school year could be made up, provided hours are added, but he estimated that the turnover lost by businesses is irrecoverable.

At the same time, he estimated that the click away, despite the fact that it can offer some solutions, it cannot replace retailing, and when asked about a possible third wave, he replied that «the third wave is us. The virus will continue to spread as long as our mobility is not reduced.».

Finally, regarding the scepticism shown by some citizens regarding the safety of the vaccine, Mr Georgiades said that eager to be vaccinated and, if possible, be among the first to do so.
