Tanjug, Dragan Kujundžić

He said in the morning program of TV Prva that the sudden leap in the number of 
patients with coronavirus in Serbia is not the second wave of the virus, but 
that it is still the first wave, and he commented on the increase in the number 
of patients in the last seven days. 

"Looking at the numbers as a whole, and above all for Belgrade, Novi Pazar, 
Tutin, we can talk about something else, and that is that fear is unnecessary. 
Instead, caution and the right reaction of the health system is needed," 
Tiodorovic stated. 

According to him, everything that happened in Novi Pazar, but also in other 
cities in Serbia, is a consequence of the fact that the measures were not 
implemented. "The virus has not weakened, it is with us and we will see in the 
coming days whether and how much the number of infected will increase," he 
said, adding that the situation will be assessed from city to city and that new 
measures will be introduced in accordance with the current circumstances. 

It is possible that, as he says, emergency situations will be introduced in 
some cities, but not the state of emergency that has been lifted. 

He also said that he was worried about one thing - and that's the fact that 
everything seemed somehow calm to him, despite rising numbers of the infected. 

Answering to the questions of the spectators, he also said that school 
excursions are something that is not needed at this moment, and when it comes 
to universities and the current leap in the number of infected students, 
Tiodorovic says that he asked the Crisis Staff to complete all the work they 
have as soon as possible. 

There will be no curfew for now, and the state has the right to change that, he 
says and adds that his position is that no police restrictions will help us as 
much as protection - masks and social distance. 

The organizers, i.e. the owners of the facilities, as well as the organizers of 
sports events, should be responsible for all non-compliance with the measures 
indoors.
