WHO official in Serbia: Epidemic end far away

He told the state RTS TV he hoped the situation calmed down since that the daily number of 8,000 newly infected Serbian residents dropped to 1,500 but warned that 1,000 dead patients last month should not be ignored and that he was afraid the end of the epidemic was far away.

Ivanusa added the vaccination had started in some 50 states around the world, and that that brought hope.

He said he believed the vaccination of some 60 – 70 percent of the world population would create a good collective immunity.
