ZENICA, March 17 (FENA) - The crisis staff for combating the coronavirus infection in the Zenica-Doboj Canton, despite finding the fourth case of infection in Tešanj yesterday, assessed the situation as satisfactory, Head of the Crisis Staff and ZDC Health Minister Adnan Jupić stated at a press conference.
He said that the person is a male, born in 1971, who came from Italy on March 5.
He contacted the health system of the municipality of Tešanj in the prescribed manner, and when the symptoms appeared he was tested. The test was positive," said Jupić, who noted that so far eight people had been tested in that canton, four of whom were positive to coronavirus.
The first case had mild respiratory problems and remained as such. Milder symptoms are also found in a person from Tešanj. We have not yet come to the situation of having severe cases, which need to be taken care with the use of respirators.
He also states that the other two people identified as positive in Zenica last week did not have any symptoms of the disease, but they are also placed in the isolation ward of the Zenica Cantonal Hospital.
"I was just informed that a patient from Tešanj has already been placed in the isolation unit of the Zenica Cantonal Hospital," said the head of the Department of Infectious Diseases of the ZCH Ednan Drljević-
Persons who are proven to be infected and who are in isolation will be retested 15 days upon arrival. We hope that after this test we will be able to say that they have been cured and that we will be able to let them go home.
