The minister of Health responds to the chief imam who married a woman 50 years younger: Coronavius is not dead

Health Minister Venko Filipce in his Facebook account writes that photos and articles from yesterday's celebration at religious sites and before them are again disturbing. Despite calls from health care institutions not to have mass gatherings, respect for distance measures and restriction of movement, this has not happened.

I respect the celebration and strongly believe that these are important events for all of us, regardless of our religion. But this year, holidays around the world are celebrated in another way, putting our health in the health of our fellow citizens above it all.

I thank citizens who adhere to the measures, and who, unfortunately, may continue to be in danger because of those who do not.

Coronavius is neither dead nor missing. He's here and unfortunately, the problem will continue as long as there are those who ignore him. I've been repeating it many times, but here's where I'm saying it again, Filipche writes.

He adds that health workers cannot do this alone. The measures are good and timely, but they only function if respected, otherwise they have no effect.

Yesterday, after the prayer of Bajram, by Skopje's Reis Sulejman Rexhepi has said that the Coronavirus David-19 has died and that it has gone.
