The director of KBC “Bežanijska kosa”, Dr. Marija Zdravković, said that there are more men than women in this health institution, but also that most of the patients are middle-aged.
According to her, the number of patients in the KBC “Bežanijska kosa” is in line with the beginning of the week.
– So, on Monday we had 24 hospitalizations, the day before yesterday 30. That is a significantly higher number of patients than in recent weeks. The hospitalizations were mostly middle-aged men, around 45 years of age, with moderate and severe clinical symptoms.
He adds that although there are more men than women in the hospital, that should not deceive us.
– It is interesting that women have a milder course of the disease before entering menopause than men. We have about 160 patients, they are covered by the new therapeutic protocol – said Dr. Zdravković, adding that patients generally do not know where they got infected.
Dr. Zdravković says that most patients do not know where they were infected, except for those to whom the infection was transmitted by one of the family members.
– That is why it is now important to consistently implement epidemiological measures: from protective masks, to hand disinfection, but also to the intake of vitamins. Now it is especially important to strengthen immunity – says Dr. Zdravković.
Today, 416 new infected with the virus were registered in Serbia, two people died, while 24 patients are on respirators. This morning, the Crisis Staff met because yesterday a record number of coronavirus cases was registered, 512 cases in 24 hours, which is a record since the declaration of an epidemic in our country.
