These are Ada, Backi Petrovac, Vitina, Djakovica, Kanjiza, Knic, Kucevo, Novi Knezevac, Obilic, Crna Trava, Coka and Strpce. However, some local governments say that they haven't had a single case, although it is officially claimed that such a person exists because of the registered place of residence, which has not been changed.

Among them is the municipality of Knic, and a similar situation occurred several days ago in Zitiste, when two people who were born there but have lived elsewhere for a long time got infected. The same situation is in Kucevo, the table shows one sick person, but that person does not actually live in Kucevo.

According to officials, Knic did everything that experts suggested from the beginning of the epidemic.

Through maximum information and education of citizens, the town has been able to suppress the spread of the virus even though they had a risky situation when those working abroad started returning.

The citizens of this municipality are extremely disciplined and respect all the prescribed measures, so there was no relaxing even though there were no infected persons.
