Epidemiologist Predrag Kon stated that we are not even close to victory over the coronavirus, stressing that our health system quickly adapted to fully respond to a heavy blow, adding that “it showed the vitality that we must boast about.”

“I think we have overcome that (first) wave in a solid and even successful way. We will see what happens next, because we should not relax too much. We are not yet close to victory, because victory means that there are no viruses and that there are no more deaths ” We’ll probably have a break during the summer, and then we’ll have to prepare for winter or fall again, “Kon said for today’s issue of Politika.

When asked if that means he expects the second wave of Kovid 19 disease to appear and if it could be stronger, Kon replied that “it is not easy to estimate.”

“There are opinions of the doctors that this will not happen, there are also those who say that the wave will be softer. I am quite restricted in this matter because we still do not have information about our collective immunity,” said Kon.

When asked what he expects from the investigation that will show the level of collective immunity in Serbia, he said he hopes “the infection is not the same in all parts of Serbia.”

“And I don’t think it’s going to be massive, but far from it. I think it exists, but it’s not enough. There are different opinions among epidemiologists and among doctors on crisis staff for the suppression of Kovid 19,” Kon said.

But, as he added, “and when we get the results, it will only be an estimate, to know exactly, we would have to evaluate all citizens, and that is practically impossible.”

He said that a decree would soon be approved according to which “companies will be forced to prepare their protection plan during the pandemic, because it will last a long time.”

As he said, “that means companies must also provide the use of protective means and equipment, disinfectants at the entrance and on the premises … that will be mandatory.”

“For now, we believe that it is better for those who work further from home to do so, until we establish that the virus is no longer circulating. That is recommended, but it also depends on the evaluation of employers,” Kon said.

He thinks it is better to spend a summer vacation in Serbia. “Here we know what the situation is like, and somewhere we know what they are telling us,” Conn said.
