The Secretary of State of the Ministry of Health, Mirsad Đerlek, said today that it will be known in the coming days if new protection measures will be adopted against the coronavirus, adding that it is useless to adopt them if the existing ones are not implemented beforehand.

In a press conference after the Crisis Personnel session, Djerlek said that the amendments to the law on the protection of citizens against infectious diseases should not be exclusively criminal policy measures, but rather a means to control the implementation of measures already taken and something to help control the situation. .

“We have to learn to live with this virus, until the vaccine arrives,” he said.

According to his estimate, between 90 and 95 percent of citizens respect the measures, and therefore Serbia has a “solid situation” with respect to the crown, especially in relation to other countries in the region.

Right now, patients of all ages are hospitalized. Most of the deceased are elderly, and among those hospitalized there are many between 20 and 40 years old who present a severe clinical picture.

There are no concrete things that stand in the way of action, but each special segment is analyzed to better influence those who violate the measures, Djerlek noted, adding that he would recommend to citizens of Serbia to get vaccinated, that the vaccine will have to be approved by the Medicines Agency. , and it will be free.
