The introduction of restrictive measures was delayed and will now intensify, leading to a strong spread of the infection. I would not like to predict, but I am very inclined to convince Dr. Ivanusa that we will have up to 50 deaths a day, and it is even possible that the number will be even higher – warns Dr. Kon.
The epidemiologist Predrag Kon hopes that the Crisis Staff proposal, which refers to the introduction of more restrictive measures, among which is that all facilities, except food stores, pharmacies and suppliers, will operate until 5 in the afternoon , becomes official today or tomorrow. Kon, as a guest on TV Pink’s morning show, said that such a proposal was sent to the Prime Minister of Serbia.
Survey:
Do you wear a mask?
– The measures that we proposed yesterday from the medical part are limited to two weeks. After every two weeks, they need to be retested, Kon said.
He added that the results of the measures, which were adopted on Tuesday, will be seen only before the end of next week.
– Now we have an additional risk related to the gathering of believers during the dismissal of Patriarch Irinej. It is a great risk of contagion and I would ask citizens to be careful of the distance and to wear masks as much as possible and to make a hole – said Kon.
The epidemiologist stated that Serbia “remained well until mid-October” in the fight against the coronavirus, and that the increase in the number of infected began a little earlier, on October 4, and that the speed of transmission indicated that anti-virus measures -Epidemiological were not adequately respected.
– At that time (lack of control) was explained by the deficiencies of the regulations … For that, we expected the Amendment to the Law of Protection against Infectious Diseases, which, for example, introduced the terms home isolation and home quarantine – he said Kon.
Kon added that the capacity of public transport and the mandatory use of masks in public transport should be taken into account, as well as that controls should be better directed at places that were recognized as the most risky for the spread of COVID-19. .
In celebrating the holiday, Kon recalled the earlier announcement by the Serbian Orthodox Church, in which believers are invited to celebrate the holiday, but inside the house.
Kon also assessed that there were few delays in the introduction of more restrictive measures, which are now in force, but also noted that previously adopted measures were not sufficiently respected.
– We are approaching 6,000 hospitalized. No more deviations, measurements must be respected. It takes time to reduce transmission and then begin to empty the hospital. And it will happen. We will see the effects in the next few weeks – said Kon.
He said that the virus from families also reached schools, and that it was suggested to switch to online classes, especially for high schools in a week.
– That means merging for two weeks, because they normally connect for a week. However, all of this doesn’t have to work because the virus is generally present and we are now in a much more difficult situation to suppress this than before, Dr. Kon said.
