The deputy chief of one of the main Covid hospitals in Belgrade warned on Friday that it was almost at full patient capacity.

Doctor Predrag Savic told Serbian state television RTS that the Covid wards of the Dragisa Misovic Clinical Hospital Center in Belgrade is almost full to its maximum capacity.

Savic said that there are 172 Covid-19 patients currently in the hospital, including 11 children and eight pregnant women, 64 patients in intensive care units, and more than 40 on ventilators.

“We admitted 19 new patients on Thursday, and we are now down to only three available beds,” Savic said, adding that the newly admitted patients seem to be developing serious conditions related to the disease more quickly than before, with many more cases of severe pneumonia.

According to Savic, the Dragisa Misovic clinical center has treated more than 4,000 coronavirus patients since the pandemic began. The hospital functioned under a Covid regime during the entire period, except for September and October 2020 when it had briefly reduced the size of its Covid wards.

He warned that the public has ‘relaxed’ with a lot of patients admitted after getting their first dose of a vaccine, and even after the second shot – which, Savic added,  means that ‘people are not taking care of themselves after inoculation.’
