Andovski said the public is being informed about developments promptly and transparently. He explained that this is not a new disease, as it has also been present in previous years, but the current epidemiological situation, the number of confirmed cases and the activity of the virus have created the need for a stronger institutional response.
According to him, the situation is being monitored in coordination with the Institute of Public Health, the Public Health Centers, the Commission for Infectious Diseases and the Clinic for Infectious Diseases. The aim is to detect and treat cases promptly, as well as to prevent additional cases from emerging.
The deputy minister stressed that citizens should not panic, but should act cautiously and responsibly. He urged citizens to follow personal protection measures, wear appropriate clothing and avoid areas where the risk of exposure to mosquitoes is higher.
Marija Gocevska from the Institute of Public Health said that, as of August 11, a total of 26 cases had been recorded, two of which were classified as probable. Of the total, 25 people are from Skopje, while one is from Veles. Dr. Gocevska also said that 22 of those recorded are over the age of 60.
She explained that the cases are autochthonous and originated in the country, while one of the individuals had traveled to Greece. All cases presented in neuroinvasive form.
The director of the Clinic for Infectious Diseases and Febrile Conditions, Dr. Fadil Cana, said that patients are receiving treatment at the clinic, which has the necessary capacity and diagnostic capabilities.
Dr. Cana reported that four patients are being treated as suspected cases and are still undergoing diagnostic procedures. Eight patients have been discharged to continue treatment at home, while an 83-year-old patient who also suffered from other illnesses has died.
