The alarming epidemiological situation due to the sudden and constant increase in the number of people infected by coronavirus has led to the reintroduction of measures: all high school students in this city will go to online classes starting tomorrow because the largest number of new infected appeared in schools among students and teachers.
The data clearly shows that Vranje is currently the focus of the crown. Yesterday 114 positive cases of coronavirus were registered in this city of the 402 people analyzed, which is why they ranked second in terms of number of infected, just below Belgrade.
But statistically, the situation is much worse if you look at the number of infected people according to the number of inhabitants, because the municipality of Vranje has about 85,000 inhabitants or 20 times less than Belgrade with 1.7 million people. So, its 114 infected in 24 hours would be as if Belgrade registered up to 2280 cases in one day! The capital did not have as much even in early December in the worst peak of the third wave.
The situation is even worse today, and this city today registers 127 new infections per day.
How alarming the situation is is demonstrated by the fact that this dizzying number is currently not definitive because it is increasing by the day, as we learn from the director of the Institute of Public Health Biljana Popović, who also says:
“It is true that there has been a sharp increase in coronavirus infections and, in the last ten days, the number of patients has doubled and is constantly growing.”
What led to this situation at this time where expectations are realistic that the virus is slowly disappearing in our country, considering that we are ahead in the number of vaccinated in Europe, Dr. Popovic says that the only reason is to give in. to precautionary measures, that is to say, to the indiscipline of citizens.
As he himself says, the public has relaxed a lot with respect to the measures to which the competent services constantly resort, such as the use of masks, maintaining distance, avoiding physical contact and proper hygiene, which caused a sharp increase of the number of positives in the crown. proof.
Most infected among students and teachers
The situation is such that as of today all secondary schools and some elementary schools in Vranje are closing, that is, the decision was made to switch to online classes, because it was determined that most of the people are infected among students and teachers.
Dr. Popović explains for “Blic” how this happened and if the measures were respected in the schools:
“Yes, it is true that the highest number of infected occurs among students and teachers, but that does not mean that the school was a source of contagion of the virus. Extracurricular activities are responsible for that, and the family conditions where children are closer to another family. ” members and without a protective mask, so that the transmission of the virus was possible on the way to school and not in the school itself. The school is a safe place where all measures and regulations to combat the virus were absolutely respected and controlled. “
Celebrations of coming of age without respect for measures
The deputy mayor Zorica Jovic agrees with the doctor, but adds that the reason why high school students are currently more infected here is the fact that the celebrations of adulthood are frequent, which, according to him, are organized mainly at home, where there are no measurements are respected.
“I say that the virus came from abroad, that is, it was brought to the school,” said the deputy mayor to “Blic”.
He also confirmed that yesterday the proposal to close schools was presented to the Ministry of Education and that tomorrow all high school students, as well as four elementary schools, will go to online classes.

When asked what other measures are being prepared for this city, Jovic reveals that for now the plan is to tighten control in terms of reforming working groups that will monitor whether the measures are respected and implemented according to the regulations in the facilities where The largest circulation of people are cafes, restaurants and all other public institutions.
It should be remembered that due to the current epidemiological situation in the city of Vranje, Professor Dr. Branislav Tiodorovic, epidemiologist and member of the Crisis Staff for the suppression of the coronavirus epidemic, held a meeting yesterday with Mayor Dr. Slobodan Milenkovic with associates and representatives of the Health Center, Vranje Public Health Institute, inspection services and police administration.
It was at that meeting that it was proposed to close all secondary schools and some elementary schools, that is, to move to online classes from February 12, as well as to introduce the strengthening of the supervision of inspection services and police administration in compliance of the prescribed measures in the next period.
“All our cities, like Vranje, which are located in a very important border area, both geo-strategically and economically, and even healthily, are always under great pressure. Not only the population that lives there, but also the population that comes for reasons economic, shops, etc., in those parts. This applies to all parts of Serbia where there is communication. We are an open country, we are a society that is willing to communicate with everyone. At some point, with measures we will create even better conditions to vaccinate as many of our inhabitants as possible, “said Tiodorović.
