Three Serbs from Wuhan should be evacuated and transferred to Belgrade with the assistance of France over the weekend, Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic told RTS.
The corona of the virus, which first appeared in Wuhan last December, according to the latest data, has died 259 people, all in China, 249 of whom are in Hubei province.
- America has introduced a temporary ban on entry into the country of foreign nationals who have recently visited China while Americans returning from that country will be quarantined.
The virus has been registered in 25 countries around the world, including Russia, Britain, Sweden, Italy.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a state of emergency because of the virus's corona globally as the virus continues to spread beyond China's borders.

Fighting the New Crown Virus - It was a battle for doctors in an unfamiliar field.
How does a virus attack the body? What are all the symptoms? Who is most likely to get sick or die? What is the treatment?
The front line doctors at Jinintan Hospital in Wuhan are now beginning to answer these questions.
A detailed analysis of the first 99 patients at that hospital was published in the Lenset Medical Journal .
Pneumonia
All 99 patients at this hospital had pneumonia, and the tiny bags into which oxygen moved to the blood were filled with water.
Other symptoms:
- 82 people had fever
- 81 people coughed
- 31 people had difficulty breathing
- 11 people had muscle pain
- nine had attention disorders
- eight had a headache
- five had a sore throat
The first deaths
The first two patients who died were seemingly healthy, but they were also long-time smokers, weakening their lungs.
The first patient who succumbed to the new virus, a 60-year-old man, had severe pneumonia when he arrived at the hospital.
His lungs were unable to pump enough oxygen.
Despite the patient being attached to the apparatus, the lungs stopped working and the heart stopped.

He passed away 11 days after his arrival at the hospital.
Another patient, a sixty-year-old man, also had acute respiratory distress syndrome.
He was involved with artificial lungs, but that was not enough.
He succumbed to severe pneumonia and septic shock when his blood pressure dropped.
At least 10 percent mortality
By January 25, out of 99 patients:
- 57 were still in the hospital
- 31 was fired
- 11 died
This does not mean that the mortality rate for this disease is 11 percent, since those patients who are still hospitalized may die and many who have mild symptoms do not end up in the hospital.
Market workers
Animals sold at the Wuhan Seafood Market are thought to be a source of contagion.
49 out of 99 patients had direct contact with the market:
- 47 works for her, as managers or stand maintenance workers
- two patients were shopping at the market
Keep more affects men s middle-aged

Wuhan in the age of the virus corona
Most of the 99 patients are middle-aged - an average of 56 years old - and 67 of them are men.
However, more recent figures show a more even gender divide.
There are two possible explanations for this:
- men may be more likely to have a serious illness and need hospital treatment
- men may, for social and cultural reasons, be more likely to be exposed to the virus at the outbreak
Dr. Li Chang says: "The decreased susceptibility of women to viral infections can be attributed to the protection afforded by x-ray chromosomes and sex hormones, which play an important role in immunity."
Other diseases
Most of the 99 patients had other diseases that made them more susceptible to the virus, which was due to the "weakened immune system of these patients":
- 40 had weak hearts or damaged blood vessels due to heart failure and stroke
- 12 patients had diabetes
