Published on: May 5, 2020 • 2:00 AM Author: PR Service
The National Coordination Body for Communicable Diseases, at today's session chaired by President Milutin Simović, approved amendments to the Ministry of Health's orders to allow the gradual start of sports activities, namely individual training without contact, then group training and finally organising competitions.
In accordance with the need for return to sports activities, the Public Health Institute of Montenegro, in cooperation with the Ministry of Sport and Youth, has developed the Interim National Guidelines governing the conditions for performing sports activities. The guidelines state, inter alia, that engaging in sports activities must not in any way endanger the health of the individual or the community, that all decisions to resume sports activities must be made with careful reference to the Interim Guidelines, and only after close consultation of national sports associations with the Public Health Institute, the Ministry of Sport and Youth and the National Coordination Body, that the health risks associated with mass gatherings are such that in the foreseeable future training sessions and all sports competitions should be organised without spectators, with the minimum support staff necessary to support the training and competitions and that the national sports associations, sports clubs, sports societies, athletes, professionals in sports organisations and the management of sports facilities are responsible for adherence to the Interim Guidelines.
Pursuant to the aforementioned, from 6 May are allowed activities that can be performed by one athlete or couple where a distance of at least 2m can always be maintained between participants. At this stage there is no contact between athletes and / or other staff, i.e. fitness training, physical exercise, etc. are allowed. A maximum of 8 to 10 people can be trained at a time, and the number of people in the training space must not exceed 12.
The second phase, which is due to start on 18 May, includes, in addition to the first phase, indoor and outdoor activities that can be performed in groups, but it is noted that for larger team sports, the possibility of splitting team into smaller groups should be considered during training when possible.
In the third phase, which is due to start on 1 June, competitions, tournaments and matches are allowed, but without the presence of the audience.
The National Coordination Body for Communicable Diseases took note of a memo from the Union of Free Trade Unions of Montenegro indicating cases of breach of a measure allowing parents, guardians, foster parents or adoptive parents of a child under the age of 11 paid leave of absence, with the exception of employees in certain sectors. The National Coordination Body decided to forward the memo to the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare, which, in communication with the competent inspection of the Directorate for Inspection Affairs, would review the memo, give an adequate interpretation and take the necessary measures to comply with the Ministry of Health's order.
The National Coordination Body has decided that, given the more favourable epidemiological situation, the press conferences will be held on Tuesdays and Fridays at 5 p.m.
The Fifth Report of the Operational Staff on Donations was adopted, covering the period from 30 April to 4 May 2020.
There were no new outflows in the reporting period, so the total outflow from the National Coordination Body's account remained unchanged and amounted to EUR 1,757,173.33. (The outflow overview by week can be downloaded here).
Bearing in mind that from the opening of the account on 19 March until 4 May at 9 a.m, EUR 7,921,354.06 was paid into the account of the National Coordination Body and US $ 75,971.72, the account balance is EUR 6,164,180.73 and EUR 75,971, $ 72.
We remind that the National Coordination Body will initiate the procedure for directing funds for the needs of construction and equipping the new Infectious Disease Clinic of the Clinical Centre of Montenegro.
