Furthermore, economic entities and (non) compliance with measures were discussed.
“The situation is dramatic. In the first part, we are dedicated to strengthening the health system, the better response of health services in the service of citizens, and strengthening the primary health level,” said Prime Minister Edin Forto.
He said the authorities are planning to significantly strengthen the implementation of existing measures.
“If the number of infected people continues to grow, it is possible that there will be a complete closure. I call on the citizens and the business community to follow the measures and to take care of themselves and their loved ones,” he added.

Isolation is ordered for confirmed cases and members of the infected for 14 days.
Shopping malls, retail stores, caterers, and other service activities are ordered to hire covid supervisors who will monitor the implementation of measures.
