Solak on Constitutional Court session: We did everything according to the law

SARAJEVO, (Patra) - The situation with the coronavirus in the Federation of BiH is continuously monitored and analyses are being conducted on what to do next, said at a press conference

"We will follow the proposals of the FBiH Ministry of Health. There is reason for satisfaction, the percentage of infected people over 65 is decreasing. The measures are being respected and we hope it will remain so," Solak added. 

When asked about the number of infected people 14 days after the first day pensioners were allowed to collect their pensions, Solak replied that pensioners had respected the instructions. 

"We think there is room for easing measures for those over 65 and under 18, and we hope this can happen next week." 

Asked what would happen if the Constitutional Court of BiH decided that the measures were unconstitutional and who would be held responsible, Solak replied that "federal institutions made decisions according to the laws". 

When asked why WHO recommendations were chosen like from a buffet, Solak said he disagreed with that statement. 

Regarding wearing masks and how, Solak says they must be worn and cover both the nose and mouth. 

Answering whether the curfew would be shortened due to Ramadan, Solak said that this would be discussed. 

On the plan to ban work, Solak said that experts were tasked with assessing what is needed for such activities. 

Solak also answered the question of whether a 24-hour curfew was being considered for May 1st, stating that there were no such indications. 

When asked why people who came from abroad were placed in public quarantine facilities instead of apartments they had already rented, Solak said they had to be in quarantine for 14 days. 

Answering who bears the costs of quarantine in private facilities, Solak replied that the FBiH budget bears the cost. 

Regarding workers from BiH who were returned while on their way to Belgium and are currently at the border, Solak said they must go into quarantine.
