Difficult situation in Tivat with COVID-19

The president is ordering the closure of Solila - Special Botanical and Animal Reserve and the Main City Park

At today's meeting, the municipal team for protection and rescue ordered the closure of Solila - Special Botanical and Animal Reserve and the Main City Park, since the epidemiological situation in the city remains unchanged. "For now, we will not close the promenades, but if the situation does not improve in seven days, we will be forced to take this unpopular step," said Mayor Zeljko Komnenovic, adding that the impression is that citizens do not take seriously the fact that we still have significant number of newly infected persons daily. "Individuals who have been issued a decision on self-isolation are walking around the city and believe that they will pass unsanctioned." We condemn this behavior and, in agreement with the Tivat Security Department, we will tighten daily control, "the mayor emphasized, emphasizing that he was dissatisfied with this aspect of police work, and that this was the main problem Tivat is facing. "As of today, 299 people in Tivat are actively infected with the coronavirus, and 20 people from Tivat have died so far," the Tivat Health Center states. The director of this public institution, Dr. Jasminka Anđelić, said that due to the large number of sick medical workers, there are no conditions for the work of the Health Center to be organized in two shifts. So far, 20 vaccines for medical workers have arrived at the Health Center, while so far over 300 people over the age of 80 have applied for vaccination. The commander of OB Tivat, Ljubiša Rovčanin, pointed out that in the past 7 days, the police checked 273 people in nine controls, and four criminal charges were filed for non-compliance with the valid measures. Mixed patrols will be organized consisting of employees of the Secretariat for Inspection and Communal Supervision, members of the Protection Service and voluntary fire brigades from Tivat, as well as employees of OB Tivat. Together, they will monitor the implementation of measures by the citizens and the violations will be sanctioned. The controls will be especially intensified on promenades, picnic areas and beaches, where the presence of a large number of people has been recorded in recent days. The communal police and inspection will also control trade facilities and other frequent public spaces. The Red Cross of Tivat delivered aid to another 30 families, and in the following period it will work on collecting aid. All municipal services and companies are on standby and all services are performed regularly.
