"The epidemic process has its own rules, theres an incubation phase, a period that must pass in order to review the effect of measures implemented. The number of days is approximately seven to ten," he said.

He said that a way must be found to break the chain of spreading the virus and make it easier for doctors.

As for the next session of the Crisis Staff, which was expected to be held tomorrow, Kon said that it was postponed.
"The Crisis Staff has been postponed, that's true. Why it's postponed, I don't have an answer at the moment," says Kon.

"For Belgrade, I can say that the situation is disastrous and that we are coming to the point that there is no free capacities in hospitals," he said, adding that the occupancy in hospitals is nearing the end.

According to him, only pharmacies, grocery stores and gas stations would remain open. He also points out that the state of emergency has no alternative "otherwise we will burst like a rattle".
He also said that the result can only be a complete prevention of contacts.

He said that something must be done by the weekend and that until then, everyone has time to think about how it could be implemented. The main places of infection have been spotted, restaurants and cafes, while the ski slopes are not places of infection, but we will leave that for Friday, said a member of the Crisis Staff.

After several months of analysis, Serbian scientists have determined that a 56-year-old man, who died in Serbia on February 5 after severe, bilateral pneumonia, actually died of coronavirus, but that at that time it was not yet diagnosed.

He stated that we are still far from reaching collective immunity.
"Despite the fact that more than 400.000 people have been vaccinated, we are still far from reaching collective immunity," Dr Kon told TV Prva.
As he said, currently the rate of collective immunity, which consists of those who have antibodies after getting infected with COVID-19, is around 30-40 percent.

Stating that the number of newly infected in the previous days is "very high", Kon said at the press conference of the Crisis Staff that an increase is possible "if we relax and stop respecting the measures currently in force", but also assessed that we are no longer in an emergency epidemiological situation.

"Every vaccine is safe"

Kon said that there will be no organized celebration of the Serbian New Year and that the existing measures have been extended because they are giving results.
