The Commission for Infectious Diseases yesterday assessed the epidemiological situation in the country as improved, but not good due to the fact that the number of new KCOVID cases among children aged 6 to 14 has increased. The Commission urges citizens to get a booster jab, as the best protection against severe symptoms, hospitalization and death. For now, there are no plans to cancel the COVID-19 certificates.

There is a decrease, improvement of the epidemiological situation, but that does not give us the right to say that the epidemiological situation is good and it reminds us especially of the age group of 6 to 14 years where we notice an increase in the number of new cases and that is children who attend in-person classes, said Dr. Petlickovski.

To this end, he said, several additional testing points are being opened.

The total Covid-19 death toll since the onset of the virus is three percent, according to the Commission for Infectious Diseases.

382 people died in January, of which 233 unvaccinated and about 150 vaccinated, most of them only with a second dose received more than six months ago, and about 30 vaccinated in less than six months.
