Identifying all laboratories that can do coronavirus testing

Belgrade, 6 August 2020

The Serbian government made a decision today that a full list of the laboratories that have been provided with the necessary equipment for performing tests on coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) should be made and that veterinary institutes be included in the laboratory testing.

Due to a need to boost the capacity of the health system before the autumn season, in order to secure additional protection of the population against infectious disease COVID-19, the government decided to increase the number of laboratories that will perform coronavirus tests.

These are the laboratories of health institutions and all publicly-owned microbiology laboratories that perform activities in the field of animal health, food safety, control of quality and safety of milk and the research of the prohibited, illicit, harmful and undesirable substances in food and animal feed, health of plants, seeds and planting material and plant gene banks.

The government also adopted a Decree on the validity of tickets bought for cultural and artistic events that have been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which regulates ways for refund and replacement for the purchased unused tickets.

The organiser of a cultural and artistic event can offer the buyer to use the ticket at the next holding of the event, for some other event of the same organiser (no later than 31 December 2021) or to offer the buyer a refund.

This decision is a result of a proposal made by representatives of the event tourism at a meeting held recently with Prime Minister Ana Brnabic.
