Midas - Native Internet Advertising There are currently 2,482 active cases of infection in Montenegro, which is 394 per 100,000 inhabitants. The most difficult situation is in Niksic, the second largest city in Montenegro, where the capacity of the local hospital was congested two days ago, so at one point covid patients were lying in the hallways. A crisis medical staff was involved in resolving the situation, so a new ward for coronavirus patients was formed at the Brezovik Special Lung Hospital, which is also located in the Nikšić municipality, and a number of patients were placed there, thus resolving the situation. The situation is difficult in Berane in the north of Montenegro, and the number of patients is growing every day in Podgorica. These are the cities where the victory of the pro-Serbian opposition was most celebrated on election day on August 30, while a week after the elections, a gathering of Montenegrin patriots was held in Podgorica, which police estimated was attended by 50,000 citizens. Earlier this week, Montenegrin health authorities warned Montenegrins that the situation was alarming and that epidemiological measures must be respected, which include wearing masks outdoors and indoors for anyone over the age of seven.
