SARAJEVO, August 13 (FENA) - President of the Crisis Staff of the Sarajevo Canton Ministry of Health Aida Pilav said that most new coronavirus patients become infected at work and that the first sources of infection are in offices where hygienic and epidemiological measures are often not implemented. 

She instructed all legal and physical entities if they have not already done so, to urgently adopt crisis plans to harmonize their work with the epidemiological situation, and emphasized that non-compliance with that order is subject to misdemeanor liability.

As the second-largest export of the infection, Pilav mentioned 'imported' cases, mostly from Serbia, then Scandinavia, the Netherlands and Germany, and advised BiH to reintroduce mandatory self-isolation for citizens coming from risky countries.

Pilav emphasized that the number of active cases of coronavirus infection in SC is 1,101 and that 2,093 people have been cured. In the past 24 hours, the number of newly infected is 53, one death was recorded, 121 people recovered, and 382 samples were tested.

She added that the number of hospitalized patients is currently 29 and that no one is on a ventilator, and that nine patients have been discharged from the hospital.

Pilav pointed out that 81.3 percent of those infected belong to family clusters and less than 20 percent to local transmission.

“At the moment when we relaxed the restrictive measures, a larger number of infected people appeared, which is expected, but we are currently recording a decline, which means that citizens have started to adhere to the prescribed measures,” said Pilav and added that the virus cannot be controlled, but one can only ‘cross the paths of the epidemic’.
