Two health facilities no longer in COVID system

Belgrade, 12 August 2020

Minister of Health Zlatibor Loncar stated today that the Clinic for Dermatovenerology of the Clinical Centre of Serbia and the Institute of Rheumatology will no longer be part of the COVID system as of today.

After the meeting with the directors of COVID hospitals, Loncar explained that these two health institutions will return to the normal work process and that they will no longer receive COVID patients from today, adding that the Institute for Orthopedics in Banjica is planned to leave the COVID system soon.

The Minister of Health said that there are enough places in all COVID hospitals in the whole of Serbia, and noted that it was agreed at today's meeting that the system would slowly return to normal.

Director of the Clinic for Infectious and Tropical Diseases Goran Stevanovic said that during the previous day, there were 130 examinations at that clinic due to suspicion of coronavirus, but that one third of patients still require hospital treatment, which indicates that caution is still needed.

Stevanovic also pointed out that the problem is that there are now patients who, after suffering from coronavirus, appear with various types of subacute consequences, with a prolonged feeling of fatigue, malaise, with more or less serious respiratory or cardiac problems.

According to him, such patients cannot be taken care of in COVID hospitals, because they are COVID negative, but they certainly need additional diagnostics, so attention must be paid to that in the coming period.
