Latifi has said that Kosovo currently stands better with pandemic than other countries in the region. Latifi has said countries in the region are not scheduled for closure.
I don't believe that for now the option is to close schools, close the economy. Most of the places around us, which are the worst in the situation, didn't do that”, Latifi said.
He says there is a difference now compared to last summer, as a large part of the population is vaccinated against COVID-19. And Latif has also called for the third dose or strengthening doses to be taken.
“is currently another state in the world, not only in Kosovo. The people are vaccinated now, but we all have to vaccinate. Even if we get COVID, it'll still be softer. In the U.S., as an example, if you have Omitron you rest 5 days and you go back to work”, Latif said in “D KSK”
Latifi has refused to blame the arrival of exiles during last year's holidays for increasing the number of cases with COVID-19 in Kosovo. But he says that it is normal since the influx of citizens increases, the number of cases is likely to increase.
It doesn't matter where it came from, the important thing is that we have COVID here. We need to take precautions. To wear a mask and vaccinate”, Latif said.
