CURFEW DURING EASTER RUNS FROM FRIDAY UNTIL TUESDAY

Belgrade – The curfew or the ban on movement due to the coronavirus epidemic will run from 5pm on Friday, April 17, to 5 am on Tuesday, April 21, the Government of the Republic of Serbia stated.

Belgrade – The curfew or the ban on movement due to the coronavirus epidemic will run from 5pm on Friday, April 17, to 5 am on Tuesday, April 21, the Government of the Republic of Serbia stated.

So it was decided that we should have an "identical" start of the curfew that was in force during over the previous weekend, but it will last until Tuesday, so that the citizens would stay at their homes for a total of 84 hours.

This decision was not easy at all, given that Easter is on Sunday, April 19, and bearing in mind that the view of the Synod of the Serbian Orthodox Church is that the curfew should be abolished during the largest Christian holiday. 

However, the position of the Crisis Staff, which includes epidemiologists and physicians, remained unchanged, whereby the prohibition of movement should not be lifted.

Epidemiologists said at a regular press conference that the position of medical professionals was clear, whereby any gatherings meant the spread of the virus, so that that there should be no compromise.

During the longest curfew since the introduction of the state of emergency, shops, bakeries, pharmacies and other services will not operate, just as it has been the case so far. Citizens can purchase all the necessary food items on regular days from 8 am to 3 pm.

In addition to all hospitals, both those receiving exclusively COVID patients and those “regular” ones, citizens will, in the case of emergency, also be able to visit the COVID dispensaries established in each municipality. 

They should operate every day, including Saturday and Sunday, from 7 am to 10 pm, while it will be possible to get medical tips 24 hours per day.
