However, as we have heard from Dr. KonaWe still have to be careful. The fact is that fewer and fewer hospitalized patients at the Nis Clinical Center show that the situation is calming down. Dr. Branislav Tiodorović, in his inclusion in the National Journal, spoke about the next steps to finally defeat the coronavirus.

– It can be evaluated that the epidemiological situation is uncertain because the presence of the virus still exists. We still have local transmission, which means that people are still getting sick. The virus has not weakened, that assessment is incorrect. Therefore, it is less present because we have far fewer people who can transmit it, who are viral carriers. We now have 738 free beds in the new Clinical Center, and we only have 13 patients who are positive, who have returned more than 70 people to the Gerontology Center, and there are no patients in the center and covered by 40 workers. What we have of the positives is much less than what we have had so far. Our goal was to drop below 5 percent of the total number tested. We want it to be like in other cities and countries that there are not at least two positive incubation periods, which are 28 days – Tiodorović said.

Dr. Tiodorović said that his expectations had decreased somewhat and that he was a great optimist.

– The past two days have warned me. It is a test that showed that a good part of the population does not behave as we thought, that we will keep that positive balance from the first half and enter the second half with a positive result. Because our catering establishments have interrupted that. It can be seen that there is no adherence, and there is no control as planned and as provided by legal recommendations. On the other hand, we have the phenomenon that even pensioners beat me a little because I always counted on them and always praised them for their better behavior. I would say that 90 percent of them behave like this, but this pension reception shook it a bit because we saw that there is no maintenance of a distance of 2 meters, that they do not wear masks.

He emphasized that we relax too much, but that we will see the result in these 2-3 days and in the next 7 to 10 days in the shortest incubation.

– We must continue to think that we must comply with these measures, especially with a mask, a distance of 2 meters. If the state of emergency is lifted, it does not mean that the measures have been lifted. However, we are in a pandemic. We have to continue throughout the country and if we are preparing to go on vacation somewhere, my recommendation will be completely clear. Let’s spend the summer in Serbia, in our beautiful mountains and spas. – said Dr. Tiodorović at the end.
