MORE TEAM MEASURES AWAIT US: Minister Ruzic reveals what crisis personnel are proposing to the Serbian government

– At the Crisis Staff session, we had several proposals and recommendations that will be summarized in writing and presented to Prime Minister Ana Brnabić as an official recommendation. The proposals go in the direction of even stricter measures – said Ruzic, for the Prav ugao program, on TV Vojvodina.

According to him, the situation is alarming and the “absorptive capacity” of hospitals is declining, not because of a lack of capacity, but because, “as he understood it”, about ten percent of health workers are infected.

He said that “certainly this recommendation from the health part of the Crisis Staff will translate into the Serbian government’s decision in, I suppose, in the form of stricter measures, taking into account the figures we receive.”

Speaking of the implementation of measures in schools, he emphasized that the transition to online teaching does not represent the closure of schools, noting that the educational process will not stop.

– Based on the recommendations of the health part of the Crisis Staff, we approved said Decree due to the general epidemiological situation of society. If you look at the situation in the education system, it is not alarming, but it is not problematic, so it does not indicate the need to do something like that – Ruzic said.

Commenting on demands by some unions to introduce online teaching for the lower grades of primary school, he said he was against it.

– When it comes to teaching from first to fourth grade, it is an assessment of the teaching profession, taking into account the epidemiological situation, we know that there is the least transmission of the virus. Elementary literacy, work habits, are acquired at the earliest age – Ruzic said.

Commenting on the case from the outskirts of Kladovo, where the principal of the primary school punished the teacher because the children shook hands in the yard, he said that the inspection was there and that a report would be known tomorrow, but “if that was the problem then it is not. ” and that decision will not exist.
