Becoming corona free destination
To become a corona-free destination would be a real privilege for Montenegro in the world where pandemic of the SARS- Cov- 2 is looming. Montenegro's position is very favorable as counting days to acquire this status in circumstances in which other countries are recording an increase in the number of infections. Dr. Vesna Miranović, head of the Operational unit for the implementation of measures for the prevention of the spread of COVID-19, has said.
Dr. Miranović suggests that the corona-free destination possibility is not the only news thanks to which Montenegro has attracted attention.
"Montenegro is the last country in Europe where the COVID-19 pandemic broke out. It is special because it is the only country where no case of the virus has been recorded in nursing homes. It would be great if we could add to this list of achievements the fact that it is the first corona-free destination in Europe", Dr. Miranović says.
