In neighboring Serbia, 24 new cases of Covid-1.244 have been registered in the past 19 hours, and another 41 patients have died, health officials said. 165 patients in the country are connected to respirators.

In Serbia, the number of newly infected people has been declining for days, and the number of patients in the hospital is decreasing. But what is worrying is the anticipation of a new strain of the virus, omicron, which is spreading rapidly.

According to doctors, the approaching holidays are also a risk and an increase in the number of new cases is expected. However, as they say, the omicron variant should not be a bigger problem, but it should be expected soon, especially if we take into account the large number of Serbian citizens who will come from abroad for the holidays.

Epidemiologists continue to call on citizens to be vaccinated, because it is a way to bring the epidemic under control.
