A total of 7.870 citizens suffering from acute respiratory infections were registered in Belgrade, and the majority of them were in the preschool and school population, where 3.109 patients were registered.

Runny nose, temperature, malaise, sore throat, hoarseness, cough are just some of the symptoms that many people experience regret in recent days.

The City Public Health Institute of Belgrade confirmed for Danas that the number of patients increased during September, and that last week there was a 20,3 percent increase in those suffering from acute respiratory infections and 51 percent in those with flu-like illnesses.

"According to the data provided to us by the health centers in the previous week (from September 8 to 14), a total of 7.870 citizens suffering from acute respiratory infections were registered in Belgrade, which is 20 percent more compared to the week before when there were 3," according to the Belgrade City Institute of Public Health.

Most of the patients were registered in the preschool and school population. At that age, from five to 19 years, 3.109 patients were registered, which is 39,5 percent of the total number.

This is followed by the working population (from 20 to 64 years old), where last week there were 2.606 people suffering from respiratory infections, or 33,11 percent.

1.490 sick children under the age of four were registered, or 18,93 percent.

The population over 65 years of age has the least number of patients - 665 (8,45 percent).

The highest number of people suffering from respiratory infections, by municipality, was recorded in Mladenovac with 1.003, followed by ฤŒukarica with 910, and Novi Beograd with 602.

There is no flu.

There is no flu, but, as confirmed by the City Public Health Institute of Belgrade, the number of people suffering from flu-like illnesses is on the rise.

"The numbers are relatively small, but the increases are large. Last week alone, 246 new cases of flu-like illnesses were reported, which is a jump of 51,8 percent compared to the week before last, when there were 162. These include various types of viruses, and in circulation are covid, rhinoviruses, adenoviruses, and noroviruses," explained the Belgrade Public Health Institute.

They add that the trend of patients by municipality continues in this case, with ฤŒukarica leading the way.

What about corona?

Director of the Institute for Public Health "Dr. Milan Jovanoviฤ‡ Batut" Verica Jovanoviฤ‡ recently stated that in Serbia there has been an increase in registered cases of infection with the corona virus and that all of them have mild manifestations, but that special caution must always be exercised in persons with problematic immune status and those with chronic diseases.

According to the data for the week before last, there were 144 positive cases of the corona virus at the level of the whole of Serbia, of which 53 were in Belgrade. Since last week the number of patients in general increased, it is expected that the new figures on corona will be higher.

As we found out, the testing is done in the health center if the doctor judges that it is necessary or through instructions from the City Institute for Public Health.

In the beginning was virtue.

At the moment when the institutions of the Republic are destroyed, when Vuฤiฤ‡'s octopus is still alive, when people are disgusted by the injustice and the stench left behind by the Essenes regime, we have, as Machiavelli said, only civic virtue as the fuel with which we can return to the beginning
