Prof. Dr. Branislav Tiodorović, an epidemiologist and crisis staff member, spoke to the national media about the flattening of the curve and the gradual decrease in the number of crowns newly infected with the virus in Serbia. Tiodorović assessed when the fall could occur and, if the corona vaccine arrives, when we can expect the situation to normalize.

“Next week will be tremendously difficult, but after December 1 we expect a slight leveling of the curve. What the figures will be will depend exclusively on people’s behavior, on the measures, on whether they are respected, implemented and controlled. Until the vaccine arrives, we must be aware that the virus is all around us, and even when it arrives, we cannot expect to be protected immediately because it is impossible to vaccinate the entire population at once. So it takes time to normalize, and that’s there by the end of next year, “he said.

The corona vaccine provides time-consuming protection and is given in two doses; the second dose is given between 21 and 30 days after the first.

“Risks always exist, and that’s why we have to take care of how we behave. Now is the glory period, so celebrate only with the family, only the relatives. If you have a trip planned, especially around the New Year, forget it, postpone everything, if we want “Let’s get back to normal, we must behave responsibly and appropriately,” said Tiodorovic.

“We must be aware that the vaccine will lead to herd immunity, there will be people who will not be able to receive it, there will be people under 18 years of age for whom it is not intended. It is important and necessary, but we must strictly adhere to the measures until its arrival” , said. is he.

For the measures to work, they should take between seven and 14 days, and we have a serious task ahead of us. What follows is an increase in the number of new infected in the next week, the “result” of the failure to comply with the measures during the previous weeks, which is now coming to fruition.

“The uptrend will continue in the next few days, but after that we can expect a slight decline towards the end of the month. We expect the growth trend to slow down in December. There will be new ‘spikes’ so I suggested to change the holidays winter, because that will include holidays, both Orthodox and Catholic, “said Tiodorović.
