Abstract

In March 2020, The World Health Organization - WHO declared COVID 19 pandemics (Coronavirus disease 2019)
caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2). WHO declared the end of the
pandemics on May 5, 2023 with a total of 765 222 932 infected people in the whole world and almost 7 million deaths.

east of the country (Kochani, Vinica, M. Kamenica, Delchevo, Berovo, Pehchevo, Zrnovci and the municipality of
