Epidemiologist: Serbia to start mitigating measures after Easter

During a press conference of Serbia's pandemic Crisis Staff which is still being held without the presence of journalists, Kon recalled that nearly 3,500 people were tested in the past 24 hours, 304 of which were positive – which he said is an indication that the situation is gradually improving, and that he began thinking about mitigating some of the measures.

"It should be noted that this is a great situation. If we compare realtime data per million or per 100,000 inhabitants – it should be compared with the data of the most developed countries in the world and there will be a time when we will analyze all this and have nothing to be ashamed of," Kon said.

The opinion of the expert team of doctors, he said, was that measures concerning those who had suffered the most in the previous month, the people over the age of 65 should be mitigated first.

After Easter, they will be allowed to move on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays, during the curfew, for half an hour within 600 meters from their building, or within 300 meters of the house, Kon noted
