He told Tanjug that the number of infected people in Belgrade has grown exponentially and that the filling of hospitals has started to accelerate, and that the most important thing is to stop it now. .
– We must understand that the measures that were adopted as mandatory must really be implemented, there should be no more passengers on the buses who do not wear masks, there must not be people inside who do not wear masks. “Personally, I think the wearing of masks should also be mandatory outside,” Kon said.
He emphasizes that the mask is the best protection against the corona virus, until the vaccine arrives, and that it can replace more drastic measures such as restriction of circulation and curfew at this time.
When asked if the introduction of these measures is being considered, Kon said that if the number of people infected with the corona virus continues to grow exponentially, one cannot “sit idly by” and that “you have to think about it.”
– Regardless of whether it is not an option at this time, it is necessary to think and indicate very clearly what would be the moment when it should be introduced (curfew and traffic restriction) – he said.
When asked what additional measures could be taken now, Kon said it could be a contact ban.
– I said a long time ago the ban on contacts and all that that means. The prohibition of contacts is a measure. When should it be taken? Yesterday. It is necessary to act immediately – affirmed.
He points out that there are more and more patients in hospital treatment, that those who directly care for these patients are the ones who know best and that, unfortunately, more and more difficult cases are arriving.
He points out that the onset of the third peak began on October 4 and that at that time a gradual increase in the number of patients was noted in Belgrade.
– We are now finishing the fourth week and next week we will have a further increase in the number of infected people. How it will continue depends on our behavior. Weekends are especially troublesome for us, because we have the impression that there are more and more meetings in the afternoon and evening in cafes. The only places where we don’t get to surveillance are entertainment venues – said Kon.
It states that today’s increase in the number of infected consequences of behavior is seven to ten days ago, and that the consequences of current behavior will be visible in ten days.
“If everyone sticks to the prescribed measures, by the end of next week, the curve can flatten out,” he noted.
Kon understands the resistance of citizens to any restriction on movement restrictions, but does not understand the resistance to wearing masks.
He points out that yesterday there were 590 new people infected in Belgrade, and points out that this number should be multiplied by ten because that increases the number of people infected daily.
– Then it is clear why we say that contacts should be avoided. It is unacceptable and irresponsible to secretly organize large entertainment gatherings. Anyone who is infected at such a celebration and possibly has a serious form of the disease has the right to sue the organizer. It should be known that there is criminal liability. However, not enough is said about that – he emphasized.
When asked how long the third wave can last, taught by the experience of the first two, Kon emphasized that we meet the corona virus for the first time in the fall-winter season and that we can talk about it at the evaluation level.
– How long it will last can be estimated solely on the basis of experience with respiratory viruses, mainly influenza. This disease has an incubation period twice as long as the flu, and with the steps we take to curb the virus, that means it will last longer. It is estimated to last about 16 weeks, and we are now in the fourth week, which means another 12 full weeks. We have to distance ourselves from the fact that all this is only estimates – he concluded.
