Hospitals are overcrowded, more than 9,500 covid patients are being treated there, and the number of admissions is even higher than the number of discharges, Jovanović said.
During a special appearance on Serbian Radio Television (RTS), Jovanović said that the key measures remain the breaking of contacts, distance and the use of a mask, and the immunization that we have in front of us seems to be the salvation.
He recalled that vaccination has already started in some countries and that national commissions make decisions on priority groups.
He stated that the objective is to reach the level of immunity “that protects us” in 2021, with the application of all preventive measures.
Jovanovic added that in Serbia the most important thing is that the Medicines Agency gives its consent and confirms that the vaccine is ready for use.
“We hope it will be in the shortest possible time since the vaccine arrived in the country,” he said.
When speaking of the celebration of family baptisms, on the occasion of Saint Nicholas Day, which is today and this type of celebration is coming up in the next period, Jovanovic pointed out that its celebration in the family circle is of great importance, “because it is a behavior that protects us all from infection. “
He said that, while respecting fame and customs, it is important to stay within the family and minimize “interference” between people.
