A y and m

Public health conservation measures and protection from COVID-19 have proved vital to restrict the spread of COVID-19. According to recent reports by the National Institute of Public Health of Kosovo, the epidemiological situation with COVIDD 19 in Kosovo is stable, but the risk remains because the Omitron B variant. A.1 and B.A.2 is dominant. On November 26th, 2021, OBS has announced the release of the new version called Omitron as a disturbing version requiring increased vigilance in epidemiology monitoring, as well as implementation of measures such as vaccines and non-magic measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

On December 26th 2021, the version of SARS-CoV-2 Omitron in Kosovo has been detected in the microbiology laboratory at IKSC. In such a situation, referring to current data on the epidemiological situation, the rate of spreading and recommendations of the IKPK, as well as the capacity of the health system and public health services, the Government has undertaken measures aimed at preserving public health, and preventing the distribution of COVID-19.

Based on available scientific data, the dangers of spreading COVID-19 are reduced in people who are fully vaccinated and with reinforcement. So the government has taken restrictive measures, with gradual openings aimed at controlling and preventing the distribution of COVID-19 in activities that unite a large number of people in the same country, and in which physical distance conservation is difficult and thus present an increasing risk of spreading the virus. Recent scientific records show that vaccines are the most effective tool in preventing serious forms of disease and death.

The measures taken are proportional to the health risks caused and appropriate to the circumstances of time and country and based on authorizations of Law No. 07/ L-006 for the Prevention and Combat of Pandemia Covid-19 on the territory of the Republic of Kosovo. Measures taken through this decision do not determine, in no case, the obligation of mandatory vaccine, since restrictions imposed on the public can be met with the presentation of the status of vaccine.

Decision to Measures Against COVID-19 is based on assessing the situation of the intensity and capacity of the health system to respond, but also by assessing them in light of the effects of these measures that can have on society's overall welfare and individuals.

The Health Ministry has co-ordinated decision-making with the entities' parties, which have been directly or indirectly influenced by pandemic. The government notes that these sides have exercised their right to democratic influence in decision-making, in accordance with Article 45.3 of the Constitution.

The measures specified in this decision serve to keep the epidemiological situation under control but do not rule out the possibility of taking new restrictive or extenuating measures.

Therefore, on the basis of recommendations provided by the IKKPK, the ministries of the line, the Intellre parties and relevant experts were placed as in the device of this decision.
