I recommend everyone to come back to life as soon as possible, a coronavirus repression crisis staff member, epidemiologist Dr. Predrag Kon told Dnevnik H1. He said that citizens have no more reason to be afraid, and that they will not become infected if they follow the recommended measures: they maintain physical distance and wear protective masks and gloves indoors.

Kon remembered that it was Of the samples of 6,059 people analyzed in the last 24 hours, 82 were positive, representing about 1.3 percent., while two people died as a result of Covid-19.

“During this, the tenth week, I hope we come out of the deaths, the numbers will gradually decrease and the percentage of detected is expected to be less than one percent relative to the percentage of tests. In week 11 and 12, when it comes back sporadic, less than one in 11 and less than 0.5 in week 12. After that, during June and as late as May, you can expect the days to start without a single case being discovered, “Kon said.

He also said that he did not agree with the evaluations that there was a premature relaxation of the measures, and recalled that at Easter, around April 19, we had the maximum epidemic.

“Everything is relatively close. Here we must understand that with four weeks there is a complete change of everything, and two weeks is a lot. When you say first of all the two weeks, it was April 24, five days after Easter, when we had the maximum “The risk is to get out of the abrupt situation very quickly, and now it is almost 30 times less than at Easter,” he said.

Kon said it is important that people are no longer afraid, and that he recommends that they come back to life as soon as possible, because, as he said, that is vital not only for a healthy economy, but also for a healthy individual and a system of useful health. it should return to its maximum capacity. Of course, he added, coming back to life actually means a new normal, that is, complying with clear recommendations: keep a physical distance and wear protective gear indoors.

He also confirmed that he is indeed in a photo that circulates on social networks, which shows him sitting in the garden of a cafe with his mask on. Kon evaluated that it is interesting that someone needed to take a photo of him from a distance of 40 meters and make a perspective as if he were in a space where there are many people.

“I can invite everyone to use everything that is allowed according to the measures. I was in Zemun on Saturday, the first time I went with my wife for coffee, I was sitting at the table together with my wife, a member of the home, at least two meters from the adjacent tables, which can be seen very well in the other photos that were taken. There is no reason to worry. I recommend everyone to come back to life as soon as possible. We will not get infected if the The same thing happens to me, anyone who could see me lift the mask right away, and I had to put it down when I was having coffee, “Kon said.

When it comes to public transportation, Kon said there is still a need for gradual use of transportation, and that while everyone can get on the bus, those over 65 or who have a chronic illness are required to wear masks. . and preferably gloves.

“What is especially important for people over 65 is that until the positivity level falls below 1 percent, they should avoid transportation,” he said.

Commenting on the announcement that people wishing to travel will have to pay 6,000 dinars for a coronavirus test, Kon said the price list has yet to be determined, but that everything is expected to be accurately determined and announced soon, since flights from Belgrade airport start on May 18. .

What is certain is that people who come to the country will have to undergo a PCR test (coronavirus test) that is no longer than 72 hours, which would allow them not to go through self-isolation or quarantine, if they are citizens foreigners, Kon explained.

He said this is a measure that is likely to be applied worldwide, and that Serbia will harmonize with what will generally be accepted around the world.
