"So far, no one in the Crisis Staff has approved or supported that. There will certainly be no epidemiologist, at least in the Crisis Staff, who will support such events. The fact is that either we will work proactively or we will wait until the number of infected starts to grow, and then take measures, but it is cheaper and better to work proactively", member of the Crisis Staff emphasized.

According to him, the New Year's Eve is a trigger for transmitting the virus.

"That cannot be avoided in the current situation," Kon told RTS.

This epidemiologist states that the epidemic situation in Serbia is improving day by day, but that he warns of the situation with the omicron strain and the arrival of our people from abroad, where the omicron is beginning to dominate very seriously.

"We expect a larger influx of both that virus and the flu virus in the near future, in the coming days, and many have already arrived. What can be expected is that the decline will stop," said a member of the Crisis Staff. He points out that in the second half of January, a jump in the number of newly infected will inevitably await us.

"Given the data in Britain, where the number of newly infected people doubles in two days, you have a fourfold increase within a week," Kon warns.
