The deputy director of the Batut Institute, Darija Kisić Tepavčević, says that the number of cases of infection confirmed by laboratory has increased in the previous days, but, according to her, it is positive that the number of hospitalized, especially people with respirators, has not increased significantly.
“The largest number of patients are between 20 and 40 years old, we see that the elderly also get sick, especially those who are active. The data showed that when it comes to people over 60, it was a family contact with a younger person. They get sick. The most exposed groups, middle-aged and somewhat younger, are those that least apply preventive measures that have been shown to save lives, we must congratulate the students and teachers who obviously adhere to the measures, because teaching is developed without a significant expansion at the school. in the middle, “Kisić Tepavčević said, adding that 98 children became ill, 61 in primary school and 37 in secondary school.
When asked if stricter measures would be introduced, such as closing borders or reinstating curfews in case the number of infected people rose dramatically in Serbia, as in neighboring countries, Deputy Director Batuta said crisis staff had not considered those measures at this time.
“Our health system is ready, but we hope that we will not be able to use all the capacities, we have reduced the covidity of the hospital, we have returned to normal regimes because people are suffering from other diseases. It is up to us to do everything possible not to use it.” “Nothing new can be offered in the fight, but the measures are very important. Now there has been no talk of closing the borders and stricter measures,” he explained.
When asked what the forecast is for the next period, Kisić Tepavčević says that we are meeting the moment when it is the season for respiratory infections and adds that wearing a mask and physical distance are a common measure for all bacteria and viruses.
“The forecasts are not good for everyone because an increase is expected, we hope to be able to stop the operation and transmission of the virus, nothing can help us in the fight against the corona but to be conscientious and responsible. If we look at the situation in the region and the world, “There were more than 500 new cases in Slovenia and Croatia. Each of us should play a role and we can influence the course of the epidemic. An increase is expected, but we know how we can act, “said Deputy Director Batuta.
When it comes to the situation in gerontology centers, Kisić Tepavčević says that crisis staff are clear about all the problems that users face. He adds that it is clear to everyone why the measures are so rigorous, “because when a virus is introduced, it spreads like wildfire.”
“Even now we have the presence of the disease in certain institutions, which is not so significant. Such institutions are places where relaxation measures are the last to be carried out, when the level of virus activity is low. We have discussed it several times, outdoor visits are the only thing that was introduced. “In the next period in which respiratory infections are expected, it is unlikely that measures will be relaxed. What has been provided is that users are vaccinated against influenza and strep pneumonia. Protection has proven to be a very important, “he explained.
He reiterated that the measures have proven to be effective and that each of us must make a personal contribution so that the environment is safe.
“If everyone behaves like this, we will quickly see the effect. China’s result and their disciplined behavior showed us that we can emerge as winners. There is no local transmission, and they do not have a specific vaccine or drug. There are no new measures. just to “Let’s take these measures seriously, so that we are not passive observers, but that each of us has a direct influence,” he says.
