Special health supervision for Serbian nationals entering the country as of tomorrow

Belgrade, 17 September 2020

The Ministry of Health stated that all Serbian nationals who enter Serbia starting from 18 September at 18.00 will be under special health supervision.

Upon crossing the border, they will be given a health warning regarding the steps they are obliged to take.

The first step is to do a COVID-19 self-checker test which is available on the Internet page e-zdravlje.gov.rs.

The result of the test will show whether a citizen doing the test needs to report to a COVID clinic or not.

The citizen must print or save the result in order to have proof that they did the test.

This means that citizens should not automatically go to a COVID clinic upon returning from abroad, but only those who get such instructions after doing the self-checker test.

In this way, unnecessary crowds in COVID clinics will be avoided, as well as the danger that uninfected citizens possibly get infected with the virus while waiting in a line to be examined.

The period of special health supervision lasts 10 days. On the 10^th day from the return from abroad, the citizens who did not get the instruction to report to a COVID clinic upon the first self-checker test, should do the test one more time.

If the result shows again that there is no danger from infection, the special health supervision for them stops to apply.

The citizens who do not have the possibility to fill in an online questionnaire at the self-checker test should call the Institute or Centre of Public Health in their city or municipality on the phone and will be given all necessary instructions.

Any failure to act upon the instructions from the health warning represents a gross violation of epidemiological measures and a conscious threat to one’s own health and the health of the entire population of the Republic of Serbia.

Such a risky and irresponsible behaviour can lead relatively quickly to a new and even faster spread of the coronavirus among the population which, of course, is not in anyone’s interest. For this reason, the Serbian government urges all citizens to strictly follow the instructions from the health warning.
