Many meetings will be held today to see if Serbia needs to take new measures to prevent the spread of the deadly COVID-19 virus. Following the measures adopted yesterday - shutting down hairdressing salons, betting parlors and casinos - there has been a debate in public about a new set of measures, which could be introduced before a 24-hour curfew. Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic spoke about them this morning.

Considering the specific needs that the current situation imposes, it was decided yesterday that for certain occupations home self-isolation would last 14 instead of 28 days, which applies to healthcare workers, prison guards, as well as members of the Ministry of the Interior and the military.

"It's important to emphasize that this decision does not undermine the health of members of these professions,"

the government said yesterday in a statement.

And what can we expect from today?

 

Ana Brnabic explained early this morning that there are measures that will be considered today before the introduction of a 24-hour curfew. According to her, the citizens will be informed in order to be able to orgnize themselves and there is no need to panic.

Brnabic stressed that the solidarity of citizens is needed, and that the more disciplined we are, the less restrictive the measures will be, but otherwise the state will not shy away from taking even more restrictive measures.

She thanked the large number of citizens who repect the measures and pointed out that there are problems in Belgrade, which is a huge focal point, especially during weekends.

"It's not a problem to violate curfew, to disguise yourself, but that in doing this you endanger yourself and some other people. You are not acting in solidarity with others," Brnabic said.

"There are measures - whether to close down a hotspot to prevent the virus from spreading in cities and municipalities where we still have no infections, which is great news..."

"There are some other measures up to a complete ban on movement other than to the store and pharmacy on weekends, where we see that the worst situation is, in the sense that people go out - every weekend will have increasingly nice weather starting April 6, and we follow that."

"There are some other measures before the introduction of a 24-hour curfew, and we will discuss some of these today. People will be informed. It seems to me that as society we function better now. We said when we entered this fourth week that we needed iron discipline, we said that we must win this fight together and that is the discipline of society - personal responsibility, self-awareness, solidarity. Because we need to worry about who will need these ventilators tomorrow," Ana Brnabic concluded in her appearance on RTS.
