Experts are discussing how activities at kindergartens will be organized. They’ll propose by Monday a solution that can be implemented, Filipce said.

Skopje’s Public Health Center and the Institute for Public Health have developed a plan to carry out starting next week mass testing on coronavirus vulnerable categories of workers, such as healthcare professionals, kindergarten and nursing home staffers, Army members, police officers, bus and taxi drivers, etc.

Mass testing for coronavirus antibodies will help us identify asymptomatic COVID-19 carriers, Filipce said.
