He adds that celebrations and noni provod are the greatest risk of spreading the infection.

He affirmed for Tanjug that the third attack of the virus will be “strong and acute” and that it only depends on the fulfillment of the measures when it reaches its peak, but that it will most likely be in November.

He emphasizes that masks are, for now, the most effective protection, but that it is also important to keep your distance and wash your hands regularly.

He says that the measures on the Crisis tab for the fight against kovid 19 are good, but that the work of the restoration facilities must also be limited.

“The measures are good, but I don’t know why they let the rafts, the restaurants, the cafes run until 11 at night. Their working hours should be limited to 6 in the afternoon, and then let them stay home to drink and have fun, “said Petrovi.

He also points out that the big problem is the lack of sanitary inspectors who are in charge of controlling the implementation of the measures.

Supports the announcement of the poisoning of sanctions for non-compliance with prescribed measures and believes that the most effective “sanction in situ”.

He believes that there will be no epidemics of the flu virus this season and that there will be no confrontation between the two viruses, because masks have also proven to be an effective measure to prevent the spread of that virus.

“The flu epidemic happens every eight to ten years. Last winter we had a larger number of patients, so this year it is not expected,” Petrovi said.

He points out that the most effective measure to control the coronavirus is vaccination, but that vaccines will certainly not be available until next year. Until then, it remains the only protection: masks, distance, hand washing.

It points out that coronavirus vaccines should be given in at least two doses, unlike the flu vaccine, which is given in a single dose.

“It is a virus that the body is unaware of and that is why you have to give two doses. The flu virus has been present for a long time, there is already a slight protection in each of us and one dose is enough, it raises the level of antibodies (protection), “he explained. .
