Jankovic, who is also a member of the Kovid-19 Suppression Crisis Team, said that even when there is no virus in Serbia, “guards” should be prevented from returning the virus, because it is not suppressed in all parts of the world, it is a completely different phase. fighting a pandemic.

“The prevention of close contacts through which the coronavirus can be transmitted is key, and it has been all along, but now it should be integrated into our daily activities, in, if we call it, a new normal,” he said. Janković.
