Next two weeks crucial in fight against coronavirus

Belgrade, 5 April 2020

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic once again called on all citizens of our country to respect the measures put in place by the state in the fight against coronavirus, warning that the next two weeks are the time when our society fails or wins in that fight.

Brnabic said in a live appearance on Television Pink that disobeying these measures and at the same time applauding doctors every evening is a culmination of selfishness and hypocrisy.

Doctors who work 12 hours or more are slapped in the face when, after such strenuous shifts, they go out into the street and see a mass of carefree walkers, Brnabic said.

This is a time when every individual needs to work for the whole community, and every day when you break measures and go out for a walk is a day longer for your parents, grandparents, to sit at home in isolation. Once again, I urge that the measures be respected, please, if not for your sake, then for the sake of solidarity with doctors, medical professionals, the elderly and chronic patients, the Prime Minister said.

According to the Prime Minister, if we all respected the restrictive measures and went out only when we had to, in two weeks we would have a different situation in which the government could possibly ease the measures.

Brnabic underlined that one day of epidemic is very long for her, but that citizens cannot do that.

A day has never been longer. 31 days you lie down every night with information about how many people died that day or are on ventilatory support and wake up with a call to find out how many people died during the night, Brnabic said, adding that this is not a game or fake news.

She said she is proud of how the Infectious Clinic in Belgrade looks like now, pointing out that there are cases where health systems of rich and large countries lost control in the fifth week of the epidemic.
