Director of the Belgrade Institute for Student Health Care Marija Obradovic said on June 29 that, according to the latest data, 210 students attending university in Belgrade were infected with the coronavirus, a quarter of whom lived in student dormitories.
Obradovic told the Serbian Broadcasting Corporation that between 100 and 150 students came in for an examination on suspicion of coronavirus infection on a daily basis, with around 50 more calling on the phone.
In her words, three quarters of the students who test positive for the novel coronavirus live in rented accommodation or are from Belgrade.
"Some of them do not know where they were infected, they are often infected at private parties," said Obradovic and added that there had been no cases of coronavirus spread from student canteens.
According to her, roughly 120,000 young people attend university in Belgrade, of whom some 50,000 are from Belgrade.
