Predrag Kon
Epidemiologist Predrag Kon has said that a part of Serbian citizens have already had the coronavirus and that, therefore, “certain immunity does exist,” and that the Crisis Headquarters of which he is a member estimates that the figure is “between 15 and 20 percent,” but that this “has to be calculated.”
“Thanks to that, the situation is more favorable than at the beginning [of the epidemic]. The people are more aware [of the situation], and the transmission of the virus has been slowed down, but this is still not enough to stop the increase of the number of infected. The problem is that many are violating the measures,” Kon told the daily Politika on Oct. 14.
He added that this week will show whether the number of infected in Belgrade will grow, and that, according to him, there will be around 200 new cases every day in Serbia, and maybe even more on some days.”
Kon also said that the venues where the virus is easily transmitted should be avoided, and that “in indoor cafes and restaurants masks should be worn all the time.”
“It has been proven that at the moment a person is taking food, for instance, the risk of contracting the disease is higher,” Kon explained.
