Zlatibor Loncar
Serbian Minister of Health Zlatibor Loncar said on July 20 that new places for accommodating coronavirus patients had been secured in Belgrade and that if new patients needed to be admitted in the next 48 hours they would not have to be sent to other cities.
Loncar told the Serbian Broadcasting Corporation after a meeting with the directors of COVID-19 hospitals that a number of patients from hospitals in Cacak, Kraljevo and Sabac, which were having problems with accommodation, would be transported to Belgrade during the day.
In his words, a temporary COVID hospital has been formed at the Belgrade Arena, oxygen supply installation has begun, but the facility will not be filled to the maximum.
"We are doing that because of the autumn and because of a new surge of the virus, which will most likely happen, to have the Arena installed at that moment and to have oxygen for as many patients as possible," said Loncar.
