Tolaj: epidemiological situation under control, elections can be held

That's what Tolaj said today at 15 o'clock news on public television.

There is no need to postpone the elections if all political parties agree that the campaign will be cut and kept virtually, without large gatherings. There's no need to postpone elections, I'm talking as a health professional.”, Tolaj said.

He criticised the IKSHPK leader for granting politically influenced assessments because of his personal interests.

“IKSHPK is actually the institution that should have the crucial role in managing pandemic, but this institution from the beginning of the pandemic has so far been in policy service.”, he said.

Tolaj pointed out that since the beginning of the pandemic, no government has done anything extraordinary in its management and that specific measures have always been taken by delay, not at the right time when they would be effective.

“We have a curve of the decline in the number of new cases and we do not need this severity of measures. It would have been reasonable if these measures were taken early when the number of cases was 1500, not now when the number is dropping by 400 or 200 new cases a day.”, Tolaj said.
