Health Ministry expects number of covid cases to increase but doesn't plan to take measures

There are 1,000 people with covid-19 now in hospitals, with that number expected to increase again by Christmas and in the second half of January, Deputy Health Minister Josef Pavlovic said at a press conference on Wednesday. The number of cases and hospitalizations is currently at its highest since last October. However, the minister said that patients are primarily being hospitalised for other reasons, not because of covid, and added that the Ministry of Health is not planning to take any general measures against the spread of the virus.
