The Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Negotin ordered the detention of Branka P., the director of the Home for the Elderly "Radost" in Negotin, because she failed to implement the prescribed and necessary measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus, which affected 53 people out of 60 residents and employees there.

Due to this negligent behavior, six residents in this nursing home passed away from coronavirus, the daily Blic writes.

The suspected director had not been arrested earlier, because until yesterday she herself was being treated for coronavirus.

The big hotspot that broke out in Negotin was caused by the virus entering this nursing home.
