The Covid-19 pandemic has drastically changed the world in less than 6 months. The infectious disease added a state of uncertainty and daily challenges to the life of each person, business and country worldwide. So, what makes Montenegro different?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Montenegro, which is a small country in Southeast Europe, registered the first case of Covid-19 on March 17 and the first case of death caused by the virus on March 22. Currently, the total number of confirmed cases is only 324, out of which 290 recoveries and 9 deaths. As a result, there are now only 25 active cases in Montenegro. Notably, the European country has conducted the highest rate of Covid-19 tests per million in the region, and no new cases have been registered since May 06. Thus, Montenegro is expected to become coronavirus free very soon.<\/p>\n
The Montenegrin Government has started strict preventive measures across the country to fight against Covid-19 disease and even before confirming any case within its territory. Initially, the government closed the borders to prevent the spread of the virus from other countries. The government also has managed to return Montenegrin citizens stuck outside the country back home. Each person returning to Montenegro had been isolated in a hospital for 14 days and then self-quarantined for another 14 days.<\/p>\n
As the situation is becoming better, the local authorities started easing lockdown measures at the end of April with necessary directives. To reduce the risk of Covid-19 transmission, citizens should wear a mask and maintain social distancing at all times when in public.<\/p>\n
