State Secretary at the Ministry of Health, Dr Mirsad Djerlek, says that he is worried about the current epidemiological situation in Serbia.
Citizens have relaxed too much, especially because of the mass vaccination that is underway. However, they forget that in addition to the vaccine, they wait about 40 days for immunity, and that the first dose does not mean that you are protected, says the Secretary of State.
According to him, he is especially worried when looking at pictures and recordings from the corona party and from the winter resorts. All this, he says, will result in new infections in a few days.
"Citizens have relaxed too much, thinking that vaccination will solve everything on its own. Coronavirus will not be afraid and run away, nor will the vaccine solve it, but we must solve it ourselves by being collectively responsible. Vaccination is just a powerful means by which we will reach collective immunity, but only the first dose does not mean that we can relax", says Dr Djerlek.
He adds that a growing number of patients is expected, so an order was issued to increase the capacities in the COVID hospitals in Batajnica and Krusevac.
