"Senior citizens, according to the profession, fall into the category of the most vulnerable group when it comes to coronavirus infection. The ban on visits is a preventative measure to protect them, and therefore I ask the population, families and friends of our beneficiaries to have understanding of the whole situation", minister of labor Zoran Djordjevic said.

The beginning of the meeting was announced earlier at 11 o'clock, and in addition to the President of Serbia, Prime Minister Ana Brnabic and members of the government, the meeting was also attended by representatives of all services involved in the fight against coronavirus.

As numbers of coronavirus cases rise throughout Europe, Serbia has confirmed its first - a 43-year-old male who has often been to Hungary.

Minister of Health Zlatibor Loncar said the man was currently quarantined in hospital in Subotica, near the Hungarian border, where he had reported himself after feeling ill. His condition is not seen as alarming.

Serbia is ready to carry out health surveillance at border crossings if the World Health Organization today declares a global health emergency.
