Epidemiologist Predrag Kon, a member of the Crisis HQ for the fight against coronavirus, said today that the Serbian healthcare system already cannot function as it normally does, and that the current situation is not comparable even to the battlefield.

"This now is incomparably more difficult for the healthcare system. I was also on the battlefield, we survived the bombing, but this is incomparably harder for the system," he stressed in a statement for TV Prva.

According to him, there are two parallel worlds. One that fights the virus, and one that denies it.

"An influx of the virus into schools will certainly follow, but they don't have to be 'excluded', i.e. the problem is complex because it must be monitored how many teachers may get sick and therefore if there will be enough of them to hold classes."

But, as Kon says, all that will vary from school to school.
