SARAJEVO, April 2 (FENA) - A total of 391 people have been tested in the Sarajevo Canton so far for the Covid-19 infection, and 70 persons have been tested in the last 24 hours, of whom five are newly infected and a total of 33 are positive for the virus in the canton, confirmed today at a press conference of the Sarajevo Canton Crisis Staff, Prime Minister Mario Nenadić, who added that six persons are hospitalized at the moment, while 1,780 are in self-isolation and 1,745 persons have exited isolation.

Nenadić announced harsher measures against those persons who violate the imposed measures.

The SC government has considered the state of health in the canton today in connection with the procurement of protective and medical equipment and confirmed that one contingent of equipment will be delivered within the next seven days.

"We will procure equipment as much as possible through UNDP, which enables us to work faster and more efficiently and transparently," said Nenadić and urged domestic producers of protective equipment to contact UNDP in order to use domestic products wherever possible.

Nenadic also said that respirators will be delivered in the next 14 days, according to the agreement between the UNDP and the SC Government.

The cantonal prime minister has announced that the pandemic affected businesses who had to shut down their operation would be provided an assistance of a minimum wage of up to 406 KM for the month March for their workers, but Nenadić believes that the measure should be applied for April as well, in order to stop the loss of jobs in the economy.
