ZENICA, March 27 (FENA) - The crisis staff of the Ministry of Health of the Zenica-Doboj Canton have confirmed that three of the first patients infected with coronavirus have been cured and discharged to their homes today, said Minister Adnan Jupić.

He pointed out that this fact shows that the approach and the measures taken have worked and the system that was set has proven to be the right one as they were the first in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina to have coronavirus-positive patients, of whom three have been successfully cured and today they went home, while one patient with Covid-19 was also operated at the ward of the Zenica Cantonal Hospital.

At the same time, Jupić emphasized, it is important that the infection did not penetrate the cantonal health system.

Head of the Department of Infectious Diseases of the Zenica Cantonal Hospital, Ednan Drljević, says that three patients who were discharged today provided two swabs in 48 hours.

"Both came negative. However, since there is still a minimum chance for them to be contagious, they are released under conditions of home monitoring. We take them as patients relocated to a third location and they will call us daily if there are any problems or questions," said Drljević.

He explains that the three patients will have an obligation to report all their contacts in the next month and that after a month's checkup, they will "be free to behave like all other citizens".

"This is a disease we must be very careful with, although we have two negative tests," said Drljević, who noted that two of the three discharged patients were treated as patients with "coronavirus infection" and one as an "acute respiratory infection and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease."
