Ahmeti: If even a wave of coronavirus breaks out, there may be over a thousand casualties

Ahmeti has said the main risk of increasing the number of infected comes from gastronomy because, according to him, the sector's businesses are not respecting the distance.

On the other hand, Ahmeti has added that during discussions with the IKSHPK, they have been warned that in the event of another explosion, victims could reach up to 1,000 and 600 victims, KOHA reports.

We had a meeting yesterday with Naser Ramadani and Andmen Zemajn, and we should think if we have the situation under control. In Macedonia as well as Kosovo, we are seeing the consequences of the Bajram holiday. We have 38 active cases in the municipality today, mostly asimptomatic. At times 33 days of virus, according to I KSHPK, the virus lasts from 3 to 38 days”, Ahmeti said.

Ahmeti stressed that the greatest danger at the moment comes from gastronomy.

I asked Naser Ramadani if there would be serological testing for antibodies. This helps us for days as to who had the virus. We've had a situation a couple of days ago that a person infected in a five-person post office has taken two kids to the nursery. The moment I contact you. The KSHPK shouldn't have sent the kids because you're a suspect. We decided to close the nests. We had 10 cases from one person. The thought is that it doesn't make us return to the measures we've had because it's hard to get back to limiting our movement. Professor Ramadani says the situation is currently manageable, but has drawn remarks that if there is an explosion of cases there will be 800 to 1600 fatalities. On Monday we have 200 people sent for testing. The greatest danger came from gastronomy because distance is not being respected. We are thinking about how we can help you with masks or gloves”, Chairman Ahmeti said.
