Serbian Army troops were deployed to construct a makeshift hospital for expected coronavirus patients inside an exhibition hall in the capital, Belgrade. They unloaded equipment, including 3,000 beds, on March 24 at the Belgrade fairgrounds. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said that only those with light symptoms will be sent for treatment at this location. More serious cases will be sent to established hospitals. Vucic said Serbia will begin to accelerate testing. As of March 24, Serbia reported 303 confirmed cases of the COVID-19 disease and three deaths.
