The epidemiologist Predrag Kon stated that for now, the option of introducing a curfew is not on the agenda and that the eventual adoption of a new measure would be related to Belgrade, where the exponential growth in the number of newly infected people was mainly recorded. .

“We still do not have such an overcrowding of hospitals that the introduction of the curfew would be something that would suit the situation,” said Kon, who is a member of the Crisis Staff for the fight against the crown, but added that “we have a sudden filling of hospitals “.

As he explained, as a guest at B92, “the introduction of the curfew is a defeat that would show that there is no awareness that we must stop the virus ourselves”, adding that “individuals do not consciously adhere to the planned measures and destroy the collective effort in the fight against the crown “.

He said that we have an increase in the number of new infected and an exponential growth, mainly in Belgrade, but also in Kragujevac, while in the rest of Serbia “it does not look like that.”

“If we were to think of something restrictive, it would be related to Belgrade, and for now, as I say, the curfew is out of the question for now,” Kon said.

When asked about the possible tightening of the measures in Belgrade, he stated that it is not possible to look only at the number of newly infected and recently hospitalized, but “in general, what is the attitude towards the implementation of the measures, whether it improves or not. and if we have the type of control you can send “.

Kon also said that the adoption of a legal framework is expected to allow better control in the implementation of protection measures, as well as that “it is extremely important that we comply with them”, mainly in the use of masks.

Asked about the tightening of the measures, he said that “the entertainment industry is the only place where we could not establish a surveillance system.”
