President Aleksandar Vucic laid a wreath at the Monument to the Heroes of Kosare to mark the anniversary of the end of the battle.
After laying the wreath, Vui talked to the veterans of the Battle of Koare, who also laid the wreath at the monument, and thanked them for everything they did for the fatherland.

Also, due to the growing number of newly infected even among children, online classes have started in high schools in 40 cities and municipalities in Serbia. A member of the Crisis Staff, Dr Predrag Kon, estimated that the epidemiological situation in Serbia will worsen.

After laying the wreath, Vui talked to the veterans of the Battle of Koare, who also laid the wreath on the monument, and thanked them for everything they did for the homeland. "If we haven't done anything else, at least today we can talk about those who died and about your role," Vucic shared that fact with the veterans.

After the meeting of the Minister of Health with the directors of COVID and non-COVID hospitals, he stated that the number of admissions is still large, higher than the number of discharges, and that additional capacities have been engaged in KBC "Dragisa Misovic", KBC "Zemun" and VMC "Karaburma". Batajnica is nearing the end of its capacity.

"We are very worried about the situation. We had a declining trend, the number of people in hospital treatment decreased, and thanks to that, a part of that system, especially outside Belgrade, slowly started to come out of the COVID system," he said after today's meeting of directors of COVID hospitals with the Minister of Health.

Also, the number of people on respirators is not decreasing.
Director of the Infectious Diseases Clinic in Belgrade, Dr Goran Stevnovi, stated after that meeting that KBC "Beanijska kosa" came out of the COVID system, but that it cannot be said with certainty at what pace other COVID hospitals will leave that system.

Due to the huge number of hospitalized patients, the question arises - can the system withstand all this?
The director of the Clinical Hospital Center "Dr Dragisa Misovic", Dr Vladimir Djukic, pointed out today that the health care system is overstretched and appealed to the citizens to trust the doctors, because they will not release them the day before or after it is needed.

The director of the Clinical Center of Serbia, Professor Dr Milika Asanin, said this morning that 80 patients were admitted to the new COVID hospital in Batajnica and that it was an extremely difficult night for us.
