SARAJEVO, April 15 (FENA) - The FBiH Health Minister Vjekoslav Mandić today in Sarajevo sent a message to all residents of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and especially retired citizens, asking them to respect the restrictions on movement currently in force.

According to him, statistics show that two-thirds of coronavirus-related deaths are over 65 years of age.

"Therefore, this is the group that is most at risk. Understand that we do not want to restrict your freedoms. You know we do not currently have an adequate cure for this disease, we do not have a vaccine yet. The only tool we have in our hands is to prevent the spread of the virus, as it only extends its life by transferring from one person to another," said Mandić.

He added that if we manage to prevent it, the spread of the disease would be stopped.
