Head of the Public Health Institute, Mr Boban Mugoša, advised citizens to reduce contacts with people and stay at home whenever possible. Mr Mugoša also advised owners of hospitality facilities and businessmen to adhere to the prescribed measures, and finally, advised Serbia’s president, Mr Aleksandar Vučić, not to tell untruths and to leave Montenegro alone.
He told PR Center that he has been repeating for months that a distance, hygiene and face coverings are the only way to protect from the coronavirus.
“Reduce contacts with other people, stay at home whenever possible, as this fight cannot be won without your help. As you can see, the number of infections is continuously on the rise. We have to take care of our families, our friends,” noted Mr Mugoša.
All those showing signs of Covid-19 should stay at home. They must not go out and should call their doctor or an epidemiologist in charge.
“You must self-isolate until we determine the reason of your symptoms, while your family members should go out only when needed and must wear face masks from the moment of exiting the house.”
He also pointed out to certain violations of the prescribed measures in hospitality facilities.
“Your work depends on whether you respect the measures and health of the citizens. You must help and be responsible in order to preserve the health of our citizens, jobs, as well as the activities.”
Commenting on the statement of Serbia’s President that Montenegro doesn’t even have a lab for PCR testing, he says those remarks shouldn’t even be commented.
“He certainly has bigger concerns and I really don’t understand his need to tell untruths about Montenegro. It would be better for him to take the situation in his country seriously and it would be better if he had understood it earlier, because this virus really poses a serious threat. If he had realized it on time, the situation in Serbia and in the region would have certainly been better.”
According to him, epidemiologists from Serbia know very well that only Montenegro has the PCR diagnostics.
