Udovicic: patients no longer know where they got infected

Dr. Ivo Udovicic pointed out that the biggest problem now is that patients no longer know where they were infected, and that shows how widespread the virus is.

Like he said, that’s why we have to keep contacts to a minimum, we have to keep our distance and wear a mask.

Explain that the infected are the most contagious in the first two days, and then they are asymptomatic.

Udovicic said that we cannot overcome the epidemic until the vaccine arrives, but that we can control it, and only with our behavior.

“Certainly, there will be a certain type of conditions in the form of certain epidemiological measures, not only for the citizens of Serbia,” Gojković said.

The director of the Infectious Diseases Clinic, Goran Stevanović, appeals to respect the measures and tells those who do not believe that the virus exists at all that the epidemic is happening to us “now and here”.

Today, the Crisis Team met to discuss the current situation of the epidemic, but also new measures to be taken, given that the big holidays are approaching.

So far no new measures have been adopted, and the existing ones will remain in force until December 15. A new session of the crisis headquarters is scheduled for Monday, after which it is necessary to know what measures will be proposed.

The possibility of introducing a mandatory quarantine and negative p-si-ar test for Serbian citizens and foreigners who may come during the holidays is being considered, which could lead to a further outbreak of the epidemic.
