So far, 1.613.682 people have been vaccinated against coronavirus in Serbia, and as many as 592.903 citizens have received both doses.

Also, gathering at cemeteries across Serbia on Saturday is certainly the latest challenge to the epidemiological situation in Serbia.

Funeral services are a custom and we cannot forbid people to respect it, but they must respect the distance and they wear masks", stated epidemiologist Žarko Ranković, a member of the Niš city headquarters for emergency situations.
