A source has told Telegraf.rs that PCR testing will certainly will be introduced for everyone who enters Serbia before the holidays, as well as that this should have been done today, but a decision was made to wait until December 15 and see the effect of the existing measures.

"A negative PCR test requirement will certainly be introduced for everyone entering country, regardless of whether they are our citizens or foreigners, and regardless of which country they come from. PCR tests must not be older than 48 hours, while those who do not have them must quarantine," our source states.

Our interlocutor adds that the existing measures that are now in force will certainly be extended.

"It has not been ruled out that they will be stricter, but we will know everything that based on the assessment of the epidemiological situation, that is, after the analysis of whether the measures in force have an affect. Hospitals are currently a problem. The influx of patients is constant," said our source.

Members of the Crisis Staff held a session this morning at 8, but no new measure has been adopted at it, although the medical part believes that PCR testing should be introduced when entering the country.
