The mayor of Prilep, Ilija Jovanoski, denied having had contact with one of the employees at PHI “Ortomedika” who tested positive for coronavirus.

Jovanoski said that immediately after the case was confirmed, according to the recommendations of the competent services, the practice was temporarily closed and the rest of the medical staff were in self-isolation.

Jovanoski calls on citizens to be informed exclusively by representatives of official institutions.

Let’s not stigmatize people infected with coronavirus, as well as all those in self-isolation. Let’s give them support in dealing with this disease, because it can happen to anyone, he said.
