“These are people from Gorazde who were positive for coronavirus, but had associated chronic diseases and were in a serious condition. A woman, 85 years old, could not eat for a month and a half, was on infusions. An older man, who was 90 years old, also had several associated diseases. They did not have pronounced symptoms of Covid-19. Therefore, their health condition was very poor and without the virus, “Begovic said.

“The clinical picture of the infected is good, no one has more severe symptoms, they feel even better than on Saturday.
