"Considering Covid passes, it's a little late. We discussed this very seriously back in May, at the city level. It was said that introducing them was unconstitutional and the talk about it stopped," Kon told TV Prva.

He added that Covid passes can refer to activities that are not essential for human life, and those are parties, celebrations.

"Gone are the days when Covid passes would have given the maximum effect. An alternative to passes is lockdown, there is no other way. Not curfew. Or perhaps we should not do anything, but that should be openly announced and we will fare the way we have been vaccinated," Kon added.

He said that an increase in the number of coronavirus cases was expected.

"Only, we expected it to happen a little later. We also expected that the strength and potential of the virus would weaken, and then it happened to us before the beginning of the school year, after people returned from vacation. It is shocking when you see the number of new cases, that people decide to believe fabrications about vaccines they've been swamped with for decades," Kon stressed.

He said that the dominated attitude is - no one can touch us.

"Here the following principle applies - 'no one can touch us, we're stronger than fate'. To organize a celebration in a situation like this? Well, it's what I just said - 'no one can touch us'. I don't understand that kind of a suicidal fight against the virus. If you gather 200-300 people in one place for a celebration, the risk of infection, clearly, exists. But, if that's the case, people, get vaccinated, then go party," the epidemiologist said.
