Sixteen more people died from the coronavirus in the last 24 hours, while 3,469 new cases were registered, the Ministry of Health stated on March 1.
Out of the 3,977 hospitalized patients, 164 are on ventilators. Since the outbreak of the epidemic in Serbia 462,728 people have been infected, of whom 4,459 died.
