The epidemiologist Predrag Kon affirmed that the consequences of the implementation of measures to suppress the epidemic are already being seen in Belgrade, and that the number of new infected by coronavirus is beginning to decrease slightly.
Kon told Prva TV that the problem is that a large hospitalization is still needed due to kovida-19, which is why large numbers of belgraders are still being treated outside of Belgrade, regardless of the new hospital in Batajnica, and that the resistance of the health system is its limits.
“Hospital fillings will remain, even though there has been a high level of stabilization in Belgrade, and the numbers are expected to decline,” Kon said.
He affirmed that today 1,200 to 1,400 new infected with coronavirus are expected in Belgrade, while last week the daily average was 1,400 to 1,800 new infected, unlike the previous situation when there were between 1,800 and 2,200 new cases of coronavirus infection daily. .
When asked about possible proposals for anti-epidemic measures before the next holiday, when a large number of people are expected from abroad, Kon said that the medical part of the Crisis Staff suggested that coronavirus tests be carried out at the border.
“The alternative is the entry of large numbers of people who do not know they are infected and will have symptoms and will have to be treated in Serbia,” Kon said.
When asked to comment on media reports that there are already scheduling arrangements for New Years celebrations, Cohn responded that “it is unrealistic to expect all measures (meeting restrictions) to be lifted as soon as possible. short time “, even if they are already lying on the crown so that they feel” safe “.
Kon said that the most important thing to suppress the epidemic is to wear masks, and that if citizens do not react to the measures already prescribed and are not able to understand the situation, “then the state must understand and close everything.”
