The position of the entire medical part of the Crisis Staff was that there were no conditions to make the measures more flexible, and the working hours of some facilities were extended at the request of the Serbian Chamber of Commerce and Deputy Mayor Goran Vesic, said the immunologist and member of the Crisis Staff Srdja Jankovic. The medical side of the Crisis Staff has already called for flights to and from Britain to be suspended, and when that will be done depends on other issues, he said, adding that it is not yet known by what measures we will celebrate the New Year. bring that in advance in real time.
Speaking of extending the working hours of some facilities until 8 pm, Janković stated that the measure was adopted after the debate. Although the position of the epidemiologist is that there are no conditions to make the measures more flexible, it was stated that there are conditions to meet the request of the other part of the Crisis Staff and they agreed, he said, adding that this does not mean that there are conditions for make measures more flexible.
“We allowed it because it was possible on this situation, and after discussion it was decided,” he said.
He also recalled that “the most important measures have been in place for months and are not mentioned enough.”
“It is about the obligation to wear a mask, maintain distance and the prohibition of meeting for more than five people, except in defined conditions. After exchanging arguments, that decision was made and should not be presented as an abandonment of human health Doctors will not take care of the economy, but It is not our idea that cafes work at all, but measures must be taken by crisis personnel as a whole, and that does not mean that none of us have health elsewhere. , of course. at the beginning, ”he said.
“We don’t see the absence of music as – a magic wand”
The proposal for the cafes to run from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. without music was made by the city of Belgrade and PKS, Janković adds, and epidemiologists, as he said, claimed that music only worsens conditions. “That does not mean that we see the absence of music as a magic wand. It is very important that when all the facilities are working, a mask is used and that people do not get together,” he repeated.
Jankovic said that the extension of the working day should not be understood as a relaxation of the measures, but now “the conditions have been met to meet the requirements of the other part of the staff.”
“The relaxation of the measures is a term that may be excessive for a small extension of the working day. It is not the relaxation of the essential measures. The correction of the working day can be understood as a minimal relaxation of the measures, but much more important is what is done during the working day, and there is no relaxation, “he said.
“It cannot be said that the Crisis Staff doctors have lost the vote”
He also said that the crisis staff doctors cannot be said to have been “outvoted.” “There was a discussion, this is an advisory body, the decision is made by the government,” he says.
When asked if he sometimes wonders about his role in crisis personnel, he said that everyone is “re-examined every day.” “But we have the task of contributing to the defense against the great evil that has fallen on humanity, it is a clear answer to the question of what am I going to do here. We try to give the best advice, that is our role, while we fulfill that role – that’s the answer. ” when they ask me what I’ll do here, “he added.
The health system continues to function at maximum capacity, the hospitals are full, although the numbers are decreasing slightly, that is not a sign of improvement in the situation, the number of admissions is even higher, Janković said.
He also assessed that it is noted that fewer and fewer citizens are not complying with the recommendations and measures, and that shows that awareness has been raised and that solidarity continues to grow.
The same happened with San Nicolás, he affirms, when we saw that “much fewer people gathered, less celebrated in their homes.” “It is a general impression, it is not an exact count, but it is based on the obvious”; he said and thanked everyone who respected the measures.
Janovic explained that a few more days of monitoring the situation are needed, which would help to see if this decline is now really an improving trend.
About measurements for the New Year – in real time.
Speaking of the suspension of flights from Great Britain, he said that the request of the medical part of the staff is to suspend them, and that it depends on other issues, and that the Prime Minister said that our international contractual obligations should be considered and that the state authorities react. “The medical part of the staff has already requested it,” he added.
Speaking of the measures for the New Year, he said that decisions are not made in advance but in real time.
“I think none of the doctors will say that it is possible and conceivable to celebrate large numbers of people, and none of us will suggest that the changes to the ban on gatherings be questioned before the New Year; and what concrete measures will be, I hope will be considered. in a timely manner and we are unable to take action in advance, “concluded Janković.
He also said that he was not thinking of resigning his position on the Crisis Staff. “Resignation is done when you lose the sense of meaning in what you are doing, I think it now makes sense to suppress this epidemic,” he said.
