Beograd -- Krizni štab doneo je odluku da neće biti uveden karantin niti obavezan negativan PCR test za naše državljane koji se vraćaju sa odmora iz Hrvatske i Crne Gore.

Takođe, doneta je odluka da se produžava rad ugostiteljskih objekata do jedan sat iza ponoći, a trgovinskih objekata do 23 h.

Biće data preporuka svim roditeljima čija deca su putovala da 10 dana provedu u samoizolaciji, odnosno da ne dolaze u školu, kada ona počne, već da nastavu prate onlajn. To je izjavila dr Darija Kisić Tepavčević agenciji Tanjug.

Ona je rekla i da je doneta izmena i kada je reč o maksimalno dozvoljenom broju osoba na javnim okupljanjima u otvorenom i zatvorenom prostoru, odnosno da se taj broj povećava sa 10 na 30.

Cambridge Covid-19 vaccine nudged closer to trials by £1.9m grant

Wednesday 26 August 2020

A coronavirus vaccine developed by Cambridge scientists could soon begin clinical trials - thanks to £1.9million of government funding.

The proposed SARS-CoV-2 vaccine would be given through the patient's skin using a device without any needles.

The vaccine would instead be delivered using a "simple jet of air", making it pain free.

If successful, researchers say it could be distributed at low cost across the world.

Professor Jonathan Heeney, head of the Laboratory of Viral Zoonotics at the University of Cambridge, and founder of DIOSynVax, said: "We're looking for chinks in its armour, crucial pieces of the virus that we can use to construct the vaccine to direct the immune response in the right direction."

"Ultimately we aim to make a vaccine that will not only protect from SARS-CoV-2, but also other related coronaviruses that may spill over from animals to humans."

To develop their new vaccine candidate - DIOS-CoVax2 - the team used banks of genetic sequences of all known coronaviruses, including those from bats.

"Most research groups have used established approaches to vaccine development because of the urgent need to tackle the pandemic", Dr Rebecca Kinsley at the University of Cambridge said.

"We all hope the current clinical trials have a positive outcome, but even successful vaccines are likely to have their limitations - they may be unsuitable for vulnerable people, and we do not know how long their effects will last for, for example.

"Our approach - using synthetic DNA to deliver custom designed, immune selected vaccine antigens - is revolutionary and is ideal for complex viruses such as coronavirus. If successful, it will result in a vaccine that should be safe for widespread use and that can be manufactured and distributed at low cost."

The clinical trial could begin in the autumn.

Mađarska će od utorka, 1. septembra, zatvoriti granice za strance, u pokušaju da zaustavi širenje zaraze koronavirusom, izjavio je šef kabineta mađarskog premijera Gergeli Guljaš.
On je rekao da će državljani Mađarske koji se vraćaju iz inostranstva morati da idu u karantin, koji mogu da napuste tek nakon dva negativna testa na koronavirus.
Mediji dodaju da pravilo o karantinu neće važiti za vojne konvoje, humanitarni prevoz i poslovna i diplomatska putovanja,

Europe’s Youngest Nation to Boost Testing Amid Covid-19 Hit

• Kosovo tops the tables for virus fatalities over the past week
  
• Government collapse at peak of pandemic undermined response
  

Kosovo is one of the most deadliest places in the world right now for coronavirus.
The Balkan state, where more than half of the 1.8 million population is under the age of 25, has recorded 54.2 fatalities per million people resulting from Covid-19 in the past week -- just ahead of second-placed Colombia. While new infections during the same period are better, Kosovo also tops that chart if the range is expanded to a month.

Deadliest Week

There are several reasons behind the trends. Since breaking away from Serbia following a bloody war, Kosovo remains one of Europe’s poorest states, reliant on remittances from citizens who’ve left for more affluent parts of the continent. Corruption, meanwhile, has held back the development of the health system.

Politics, however, appears to have been the major contributing factor -- as it has in many parts of the globe where responses to the virus have proved lacking.

“At the height of the pandemic, Kosovo ousted its government and fired the health minister and key people for the management of that sector,” said Afrim Krasniqi, executive director at the Albanian Institute for Political Studies in Tirana. “Kosovo was the only country in the region that failed to apply swift, extraordinary measures to limit the spread of the pandemic.”

After what now looks like a premature relaxation of virus restrictions in May, new Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti, a U.K.-educated former finance minister, tightened social-distancing measures in July in an effort to control the rising number of Covid-19 cases. Hoti himself tested positive this month, though has now returned to work.


The current 140-160 new cases a day could be a “plateau,” according to Sergei Koryak, the World Health Organization’s liaison officer in Kosovo. But the WHO is working to increase testing capacity from about 500 a day, fearing official data may even be under-counting infections.

“Laboratories are testing only patients with symptoms, with high temperatures,” Koryak said by phone. “So potentially some mild cases may have been missed.”
