Just to reiterate, a session of the Crisis Staff was held on Tuesday, almost a month after the previous one, but no new measures were introduced afterwards. Instead, everyone states that vaccination is the only solution. The situation is no better in the region, but also in many other countries worldwide.

"In recent months, we have data that over 90 percent of patients have not been vaccinated. This is a significant indicator of how important vaccination is. Most of our meeting was focused on how to strengthen the response to vaccination," said Dr. Darija Kisi Tepavevi.

This will be followed by a new session to discuss the introduction of new or modification of existing measures.
"The measures taken so far have had effects," said Kisic Tepavcevic, adding:
"You can see the fall of the newly infected."

Kon told RTS that the numbers still show that we have no "zero" situation anywhere.
He pointed out that the creation of collective immunity without vaccination would take several years, so much is expected from the vaccine.
"Miracle is expected from a vaccine, and miracles generally don't happen", Kon pointed out.

"Today's workload is 100 cases, the largest part refers to Vranje in one work organization. 39 of them are direct, family contacts with people who became infected in the company," she told B92 television.
According to her, the case of Vranje showed how the coronavirus spreads quickly if protective equipment is not used and the rules are not followed.

That happened in the furniture factory "Dodic" in Vranje, Deputy Director of the Institute of Public Health of Serbia, Darja Kisic Tepavcevic stated.
She pointed out that it is a newly identified hotspot and that there are no other major hotspots in Serbia.

"At the moment when the expert recommendation on easing the measures was given, they were based on indicators that speak about the current epidemiological situation," she says.
She adds that wearing a mask indoors does not play a significant role, but that it does indoors.

In social care institutions, 273 tenants are positive for coronavirus, along with 73 employees.

She said that this is also indicated by the fact that in the last 24 hours only about 2.5 percent of those tested positive.
"The trend of what we have observed in recent days continues, and in support of these favorable epidemiological indicators, we see that the activity of the virus is weakening," Dr Kisic Tepavcevic told B92.

5559 people were tested in the last 24 hours, and 227 patients were infected with the coronavirus until 3 pm on Wednesday.
A total of confirmed cases of coronavirus is 8.724 among 78.942 tested. To date, 2.470 COVID-19 patients are being treated in hospitals, including 78 who are on respirators.
Three of the deceased are male and two are female.
