That has not happened, at least not until now. The number of those who go to the ambulance has increased, as well as those who are suspicious and are doing swabs. They are also 40 percent positive, “Kon said in the Chronicle of Serbian Radio and Television (RTS) in Belgrade, emphasizing that” the situation is rapidly deteriorating. “
Kon said that the medical part of the crisis staff brings recommendations that are finally decided by the government, and that inspections and communal service are on the ground, but parties are still being organized.
“We didn’t mention parties by accident, because you don’t have school broadcasts. All we see is that everything starts from parties, various gatherings, private celebrations,” Kon warned.
He stressed that “if there is no barrier, that is, masks, something else will have to be done,” suggesting that masks should also be worn outside “and that, if they are not respected,” then the legal framework should be changed. ” .
“There are lawyers who say that it cannot be done except in a state of emergency. I look at it with more desperation and concern because I cannot help, because it is not my profession.” Everything is possible, but it takes time, and we no longer have it ” Kon said and said: “People, do not enter the city transport and closed spaces without masks. I do not know anything else and neither do the others.
He warned that “the next seven days will be bad” and that “the increase in deaths is yet to come.”
“The efficiency was phenomenal in a state of emergency, and then I said that the epidemic could not be solved any other way. I stay with that position, regardless of the criticism, “emphasized Kon.
On the occasion of the current epidemiological situation, the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, will meet tomorrow, as announced, in the Palace of Serbia with the heads of all covid hospitals in the country.
