Former WHO expert: If we go to protest, we'll have thousands of Corleone cases.

Two months since the first cases with the COVID-19 have been announced in Kosovo on Wednesday. For two months, 927 Kosovars were infected with this virus, of which 29 died and 671 were cured. It was the increase in the number of healed persons that seemed to cause relief in citizens, some of whom were ignoring even the measures set by the Ministry of Health.

On Tuesday in Pristina, she protested. Vetevendosje Movement activists had appeared in “Square Skenderbeu” to rehearse protests. And their move is taking its toll on the ex-expert of O BSH, Merkur Beqiri

It's the phrase we've heard now and two months since the first cases with the COVID-19 began to appear in Kosovo.

Health experts had viewed the stay at home as the most preventative measure to the spread of coronary.

The institutions made the decision to initially limit citizens' exit by only 90 minutes during the day, and then another 90 were added, with the relief of measures on the part of the Health Ministry.

The exit was arranged by the pre-breaking number of identification documents at a set time, twice per day.

But even with the permission of movement, the National Institute of Public Health of Kosovo and the Health Ministry appealed for citizens not to go out unnecessarily, only in case of food supply, medicine or other necessary things.

On Tuesday, about 400 activists of the Vetevendosje Movement used their exit time for a whole different matter.

They went to “Square Skenderbeu” in Pristina, to do as they called it a test protest.

Their move sparked numerous reactions, as Kosovo, as well as other countries, is facing the COVID-19 pandemic.

The massive exit of citizens, while maintaining distance and establishing protective tools, was criticised by political parties in the country but also by health experts.

Former O-Expert The BSH in Kosovo, Merkur Beqiri, told Gazeta Express that such gatherings of citizens can be dangerous and thus have very large numbers of coronary infected people.

My message is that if the conduct of the population by existing measures goes through the protest regime on the streets, then within weeks it will no longer measure hundreds, but with thousands and tens of thousands and tens of”, Beqiri declared for Express.

He said that any division of society, both political and social, is exploited by the virus to enter among us.

It's enough for one person to start a pandemic, then everyone else is needed to stop it. As far as the nature of the virus is concerned, a person infects 3 to 13 people, if we open the way for infection to continue on to the remaining”, Beqiri said.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday it has been applied for the State Prosecutor to investigate initiatives for protests that could endanger the lives of citizens at the time of pandemic.

The activist protest was also commented on by VVA leader and incumbent Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti.

Kurti has said that they are government in office are awaiting the Constitutional decision and do not encourage people to assemble and rally, despite the subject he is leading.

“It's good to have VVA secretary answer to organizational issues. We as governments are in charge of daily affairs. We're expecting the Constitutional Court's decision, we don't encourage assembly gatherings. We demand that all measures be respected. We understand the need to protest, we accept it as essential right to protest, and in this regard it is ours to constantly call on citizens to be active, but by definitely respecting the physical distance measures, hygiene and 180 minutes a day”, Kurti said at the media conference after the Government meeting in which ministers reported 100 days in leadership.
