"Five new coronavirus victims have died," Dr Stevanovic said.
"The situation is under control," Verica Jovanovic, Director of the Institute of Public Health of Serbia, Dr Milan Joanovic Batut, said.
Asked if the state provided assistance to nursing homes, she replied:

Thus, the number of patients increased from 1,476 to 1,624.
From the last report until 3 pm today, a sample of 645 individuals were tested, out of which 148 were positive. A total of 1.046 patients were hospitalized, 69 of them at the Belgrade Fair.
There are a total of 89 patients on the respirator.

As deputy mayor of Belgrade Goran Vesic stated for Tanjug earlier, this temporary hospital will have about 1.500 beds.

"What happened today - as much as we expected - still surprised us," the Prime Minister said.
"As of yesterday, at 3 pm, we had eight dead, which is the highest number of deaths, the largest so far," Brnabic said at Batajnica Airport, upon receiving Russian assistance in Serbia.

In the last 24 hours, the number of people positive to COVID-19 increased from 1.117 to 1.476.
Since Thursday at 3 pm, 748 people were tested and 305 were positive on COVID-19.
A total of 874 patients were hospitalized and 81 are placed on the respirator.
By 3 pm in Serbia, a total of 5.756 people were tested who met the criteria for a case definition.

Twitter said on April 2 it shut down thousands of accounts linked to Egypt and Saudi Arabia, several of which were involved in a smear campaign critical of Turkey and the Turkish government.

Vucic urged those Serbs who had left to return "to their ancestral homes and build a future here," promising special incentives to bring them back and help tackle the demographic crisis afflicting Serbia and much of the rest of Central and Eastern Europe.

He said at a news conference that more than two people had been banned from gathering as of tonight.
"The first measure is to introduce curfew on Saturday from 1 pm to 5 am on Monday," he said, adding that the ban does not apply to the pensioners who can go to the stores on Sunday from 4 am to 7 am.

Twitter has removed almost 9,000 accounts that were "working to promote Serbia's ruling party", the Serbian Progressive Party, it said on Thursday.

"Toward the end of last year, we identified clusters of accounts engaged in inauthentic coordinated activity which led to the removal of 8,558 accounts working to promote Serbia's ruling party and its leader," Twitter announced.

The main topics of the conversation were the fight against coronavirus, continued cooperation with the European Union and confirmation of the closest friendly relations with Russia.
