Due to the worsening of the epidemiological situation in our country, the Crisis Staff decided in yesterday’s session that all catering, trade and craft facilities, including those with gardens, can operate until 11 at night, instead of an hour after midnight.
The decision is mandatory and came into force today, and in addition to this, there are several other valid epidemiological measures in Serbia, which citizens seem to have started to forget lately.
The data, which was a “trigger” for the Crisis Staff to adopt the new and old measure, which was recently mitigated by extending the work of the garden facilities from 11pm to one hour after midnight, is a risk significantly higher contagion in our country in recent days.
– This week, the risk of illness is 19% higher than the previous one, and that is an alarming fact for us – noted Dr. Kisić Tepavčević, who announced this decision to the press after the Crisis Staff meeting.
He said it was clear that the number of infected had increased in recent days and that the situation in the capital was particularly alarming.
Control over the implementation of the measures will be increased, as well as the punishment of offenders, but the possibility of closing Belgrade has not been considered. For days, almost half of the newly ordained daily have been registered in the capital.
– The control of the application of the measure should be stricter in those cities where the number is increasing, both the control and the sanctions – stated explicitly Dr. Kisić Tepavčević.
However, although we have witnessed that lately the cafes throughout the country have been flooded with visitors, it seems that this is not the only measure whose non-compliance has affected the increase in cases of coronavirus infection in our country.
Forget about measurements
Because Serbia is one of the European countries that has been in the most favorable position in the last two months, when it comes to the epidemiological situation, a large number of citizens have relaxed and forgotten certain measures, which are still in force. .
These are the measures that remain in force and whose observance is necessary for the epidemiological situation in Serbia to be stable:
1. Prohibition of assembly
The order of the Government of Serbia on the prohibition of meetings in public places in closed and open spaces while the danger of the spread of the virus lasts was approved in the session held at the end of August.
On the basis of this decision of the Government throughout the territory of the Republic of Serbia, in closed public places and in the open air, it is forbidden to gather more than 30 people at the same time.
The distance between the people present must be at least 1.5 meters, that is, only one person can be present for every four square meters.
At the end of August, a new measure relating to social gatherings came into force, but it only referred to cultural events. As decided at the time, the maximum limit for this type of event is 500 people, not allowing the group to exceed six people and, of course, respecting all epidemiological measures.
2. Wear masks indoors
Currently, the use of masks is mandatory indoors, but also in public transport, while there is only one recommendation that they be used outdoors.
Recently, Dr. Predrag Kon pointed out the existence of this recommendation.
– I emphasize again and recommend wearing a mask, not only indoors but also outdoors. That recommendation is being forgotten. I am aware that a small number of people wear masks outside, but at one time a small number were wearing them both in transportation and in shopping centers until they became mandatory. The recommendation can sometimes go beyond measure, so no one will be surprised if that’s the case, if everything goes in the wrong direction – warned Dr. Kon.
At yesterday’s press conference for crisis personnel, Dr. Kisić Tepavčević recalled that wearing masks indoors is mandatory, especially emphasizing the importance of wearing them on public transport.
3. Wear masks outdoors
Dr. Darija Kisić Tepavčević also adjusted today that the mask should be worn in an open space in case it is impossible to provide a distance of more than 1.5 meters.
4. Limited operation of catering facilities
To this day, all retail and catering facilities could work until 9:00 p.m. if they do not have a garden, while garden owners could work until an hour after midnight. As of tomorrow, all the catering facilities and shops will only be able to operate until 11:00 p.m.
– At the suggestion of crisis staff, starting tomorrow, the working hours of the catering, trade and craft facilities will be limited to 11 pm – said epidemiologist Dr. Darija Kisić Tepavčević yesterday at the press conference.
As he further explained, this measure does not apply to pharmacies and certain gas stations.
Some municipalities “appropriated” the crisis personnel
These measures are mandatory and valid for the entire territory of the country, while the Crisis Panels of local governments can, based on the evaluation of the epidemiological situation of their territory, adopt measures that apply to municipalities.
One of the first to declare a state of emergency due to the worsening situation is Trstenik. This decision was made just two weeks after the state of emergency was lifted in the municipality.
According to yesterday’s cross section, 6,700 people were tested for the corona virus in Serbia, of which 121 tested positive and one person died.
Let us remind you that the number of infected people in Serbia, especially in Belgrade, has been growing since last week, and yesterday, with 120 newly discovered cases, we had the highest number of infected people since August 27, when 125 cases were recorded. .
