Institute for Public Health: If everyone adheres to measures, there will be less infections

Institut za javno zdravlje

Making forecasts would be very ungrateful and would be a mere bidding. Once the measures start producing effect, number of infected persons will definitely start to go down, said representatives of the Institute for Public Health answering the question if there are forecasts about when we can expect culmination of the number of infections in this wave.

As far as proposal for wearing masks in all open public spaces, Institute says that as long as there are alternative and even more efficient measures, they would be put in place.

“To be precise, in open spaces, in normal interaction and behavior, keeping physical distance is more effective in summer days. Therefore, we’ll keep insisting on physical distance wherever that’s possible. Where it’s not possible, wearing masks is desirable and recommended”, Institute said.

Talking about how many people are engaged in testing, Institute states that activities on the terrain are just one of the activities intended for adequate identification of coronavirus cases.

“Depending on the number of cases and needs, staff changes. There are currently 25 epidemiologists and their technicians. They are supported by around ten doctors and technicians from other organization units”, Institute says.
