Periscope: Do you think the Kurti government will toughen anti measures - CO VID?
Valbon Krasniqi: But look, we as KSKUK are to provide hospital treatment to all patients who are seeking and in need of hospital treatment, while there are other institutions that deal with determining measures. We've constantly been looking like the SHSKUK that we definitely need to be careful. We have the virus present, and however, we have to have individual and collective care, as this large number of cases is very disturbing to our existing capacities.
Periscope: What should be considered if the Government decides on new measures?
