“The daily number of registered cases in Vojvodina has been rising continuously since October 20 with 86 new cases registered on Monday alone and a significant rise in the number of hospitalized patients,” a statement said. It added that there are 516 active cases in the province which is twice more than a week earlier. “There are active cases in 36 of the 45 municipalities in Vojvodina,” the statement said.
