At the end of parliament’s first workday – 15 April – the government press service announced that the Council of Ministers was dissolving the National Operational Headquarters for combatting the pandemic. The decision was made public without any motives or any concrete information on how coordination of the efforts to check the spread of Covid-19 would be affected. The news of the Headquarters’ dissolution caused bewilderment among health experts who hastened to point out that whatever the political situation in the country there has to be a coordinating body. They all agreed that the situation calls for the National Operational Headquarters to continue its work.
