Our laboratories are working on examination of anti-bodies from blood samples in order to determine is it possible to tackle this epidemic with collective immunity. Our priority is to accept a number of patients that the healthcare system can handle, and we are taking measures in order to prepare in case the number of patients with COVID-19 grows very high,” Filipce said.
