The emergency situation in Serbia is due to the corona virus in force in 10 cities, that is, municipalities, namely Kragujevac, Rekovac, Trstenik, Aleksandrovac, Novi Pazar, Valjevo, Bor, Prokuplje, Belgrade, Dimitrovgrad and, to this day , Kladovo. What measures are there?

For many it was a surprise to learn that the state of emergency is in force in the capital, and as minister and crisis staff member Darija Kisić Tepavčević explained a few days ago, Belgrade has not lifted the state of emergency since July 3, when it was introduced due to a large number of new cases during the second corona wave.

This information was confirmed for “Blic” by the coordinator of the city headquarters for emergency situations, Darko Glavas.

Belgrade

Mere: Regarding the measures in our capital, they do not differ significantly from those in force throughout the country, but what the city leaders highlight is that recently the controls of the catering facilities have been notably strengthened, which must be closed before 11 at night, which many times was not the case.

– The city of Belgrade insists on respecting the existing epidemiological measures in the fight against kovida-19, and all those who organize raft parties and spread the infection must be held criminally responsible – said Deputy Mayor Goran Vesić two days ago.

What happened in Belgrade?

Public transport is marked as one of the places with the highest risk of contagion, but it seems that in September we forgot about the obligation to wear masks in transport, enter through the front door and sit in the prescribed places.

Not even wearing masks in stores has become a surprise, not to mention keeping your distance. Infections are now becoming more common in schools, so the possible extension of the holidays will be the main topic for crisis staff today. The hot topic in the capital is the gathering of young people and the organization of parties, both private and in cafes and clubs. This is how we got to the biggest corona pump.

As the epidemiological situation began to worsen, the Crisis Team prohibited local governments from issuing “special permits” for the organization of celebrations, while in Belgrade, as in a parallel universe, nightlife developed as if there were no rules. was valid. All of this should have been resolved when, as announced, amendments to two key laws are introduced on November 10.

Apart from Belgrade, neither Valjevo nor Kragujevac extinguished the emergency situation of the second wave, which are again hot spots in this, the third wave.

Kragujevac

Mere: The city in which an emergency situation is in force and that has not descended from the infamous throne for days, according to the number of infected, has long brought stricter measures in relation to the Republicans. Thus, catering facilities are open until 9:00 p.m., and in bakeries and fast food establishments, the physical distance between customers must be at least 1.5 m to 2 m. The use of protective masks is mandatory, both for buyers and sellers. Mass gatherings are prohibited and the maximum number of people in a place is 50.

What happened in Kragujevac?

What has brought Kragujevac back to the thankless place of the hotbed of infection? The real situation is that people on the street still do not massively respect protection measures. Indifferent behavior stops only at the entrance of an institution or store, because without a mask, they cannot step there. In parks, playgrounds, on benches you feel without distance.

– This summer we had a crown for many parties, weddings … Now there is a great risk because of the closed spaces, because of the cold. Vectors are also older, and it is difficult to know where they were infected. Once again, the problem is the meetings, and the novelty is that the virus is transmitted at work, not just at celebrations, Vojislav Antic, director of the Health Center in Kragujevac, told “Blic” earlier.

Valjevo

Mere:The third wave did not bypass Valjevo, another city where an emergency situation is in force. As of the first week of October, a sudden infection began in this city, so that very shortly afterwards the measures in relation to those of the republic were hardened. Due to the increase in the number of new cases of corona virus infection, the Emergency Situations Headquarters of the city of Valjevo issued an order to shorten the working hours of the catering facilities until 9:00 p.m. One of the measures is to reduce the meeting, so that only five people are allowed in one place.

What happened in Valjevo?

The sudden increase in the number of patients, explained the Institute, is related to the group of patients of a private celebration in the vicinity of Valjevo, where there were about 60 guests, double the number allowed. Of these, 60 were confirmed in 25 participants. Furthermore, the crown spread from a small group, a shop where eight infected people were found, and then four members of a family became infected by contact with a proven source of infection, a relative from Belgrade who visited them.
