The director of the Covid hospital in Belgrade suburb of Batajnica, Tatjana Adzic Vukicevic, on Jan. 18 said that 323 people had been admitted to the hospital in the past five days.
She told state public broadcaster RTS that 79 people were hospitalized on Jan. 17 alone, noting that it was a large number of patients. She stressed that practically the same number of hospitalizations had been registered on Dec. 4 2020, when the hospital had opened.
“It is encouraging that the patients do not have severe symptoms, that recovery is swift and hospitalization shorter and that fewer patients require admission to intensive care units,” Adzic Vukicevic said.
She also said that 54 patients were in intensive care units, of whom 38 were on ventilators. Adzic Vukicevic also said that 30 young medical staff of the Batajnica hospital had tested positive for the coronavirus.
