– If we had more such examples, it would be easier to welcome the upcoming New Year’s and Christmas holidays and winter holidays. If we all adhere to all measures, if we strictly respect and control them, we will all together contribute to the functioning of that system. If we all bear individual responsibility, if parents do not send their children with a temperature to school, it will certainly be easier for us – Tiodorović emphasized in the morning program on TV Prva.
The epidemic situation has not stabilized
– Many people are dying in kovid hospitals. We have not stabilized the situation, we can say that when we have 500 infected. There are many 50-60 dead. If we manage to control that, we will give air to our fellow clinicians who fall on their noses from work – Tiodorović pointed out.
An unvaccinated girl, only 25 years old, died of kovid
As he said, the vaccine does not protect anyone from 100 percent.
– He who has good, preserved immunity will not get seriously ill. But we still have to wear masks and keep our distance. There are also vaccinated people who have died, old people, with severe comorbidities, cancer patients, that organism cannot raise such immunity as young people – Tiodorović emphasized.
– That leads us to the fact that we cannot put things that are applicable into the normal course of life. There is no big difference in Europe, right-wing forces are appearing there. It is not unexpected that there may be protests in our country as well. Although I reckon that everything we did was gradually introduced. It may have been delayed, but it did not cause much outrage among the population. We need to be more efficient in implementing and controlling measures. Tight control, then we’ll get it back to normal. I believe that we cannot get into a situation like in the Netherlands, Austria … – said Tiodorović.
More than 50 percent of young people were vaccinated in Nis
As he said, kovid passes have already given results.
– We have a significant increase in vaccination among young people between 18 and 35 years of age. In the central city municipalities in Belgrade, more than 30 percent of young people were vaccinated, while in Nis, as many as 50.36 percent of young people were vaccinated. This is important because young people are most likely to move, become infected and transmit the virus. Unfortunately, a few days ago, an unvaccinated girl, only 25 years old, passed away from kovid, and without any accompanying diseases – Tiodorović emphasized.
By the way, the hotel on Stara Planina made the decision to introduce a covid pass from January 1, so that all guests will be recognized for any negative corona test, with those who have not been tested being able to be tested for antigen in the hotel. The testing will be performed by the staff of the Health Center in Knjaževac, and whoever tests positive will get all the money back from the arrangement.
