Number of infected with new virus in Macedonia increases

However, Health Minister Venko Filipce said there is no need for new rhetoric measures, calming the opinion that the state currently has sufficient capacity for affected patients.

We have calculated increased number of patients with the new version of the virus over the past period. Out of 20% of the period two days ago, results indicated that this number has increased by up to 50% from the total number of diagnosed. We are analyzing the situation across the country's entire territory and see that there is a slight increase in the number of hospitals compared to last month, said Venko Filipce, minister of Health.

Health workers' vaccine has continued today. The number of those vaccinated has passed 700, while the process is running until 20.00 p.m. to continue Monday.

Some 760 health workers have been vaccinated so far. The decision is that, with the first amounts to come, the vaccine will apply only to module hospital labors in Skopje. Other institutions have already started. Yesterday were for vaccinated health workers from Kavadar and Prilep. It's just Sunday doesn't work. My mother's lists are now being made, and at the moment, the process is going well, there are lines and good vaccine management ) Venko Filipce said.

At the moment, the number of positive patients who are healed in the country's infectious departments is 622, while about 420 beds are available in the Coved Centers.
